Again victims feel the pain: 'Excuse letter Dutroux is just bullying'

antwerp - The letter that Marc Dutroux will send to next of kin falls badly in Belgium. Carine Russo, the mother of victim Mélissa, and Jean-Denis Lejeune, the father of victim Julie, talk about 'bullying behavior' and mental torture. 'I can guarantee that when released, I will be around.'

Soon Sabine Dardenne, Laetitia Delhez and the parents of Julie, Mélissa, An and Eefje will receive a letter from Bruno Dayez, the lawyer of Marc Dutroux. His client has read the letter and approved after some adjustments. He wants to show his repentance for his actions towards the victims and their parents.

'I am close to desperation. We try to live a normal life after so many years, but Bruno Dayez always finds something to put us back in our sorrows. I call it bullying, 'says Carine Russo, Mélissa's mother. 'We, the victims or the parents of the victims, are used to make progress in his file (about the early release of Dutroux, ed.), But if we want to continue our lives, they have to stop our wounds from being opened continuously. rip. Worse still: Bruno Dayez even adds some sourness ', the woman responds.

The letter fits in with Dayez's strategy to release its client early. 'No one has anything to lose,' Dayez said earlier this week. 'It no longer makes sense that my client and relatives behave opposite each other as dogs and cats. '

But that statement Russo was shot in the wrong way. 'Dog and a cat? Bruno Dayez is not a teacher who has to separate two children from fighting in a playground. We have been very clear in recent years: we do not want to contact the client of this lawyer. Besides, if I receive that letter, I will not read it anyway. I do not see what he could bring me. '

Jean-Denis Lejeune, the father of Julie, has written a letter on Facebook that is addressed to his daughter. 'My beloved', that is how the letter begins. 'I will never go in his (Dutroux, red.) Game to be released earlier. Mr. Dayez continually tortures us with his publications, interviews and other actions, for the benefit of a man who kidnaps, rapes, tortures, kills, or lets die of hunger and thirst. (.) I can not understand that no one can bring Dayez to reason. (...) But I can guarantee you, dear, that when released, I will be in the neighborhood. '
