The third week of the Fourniret trial will be given over to the examination of the Céline Saison and Joëlle Parfondry cases. Joëlle is in court, reliving the trauma of a savage attack by Fourniret, which left her traumatised.21 avril 2008
La 3ième semaine de procès sera consacrée à Joëlle et Céline.*
Elle va pouvoir souffler un peu, Monique Olivier. Plus de questions gênantes sur sa complicité, sur sa participation active ou passive aux faits criminels jugés par la cour d'assises des Ardennes. Les quatre derniers dossiers, qui seront examinés d'ici au 30 avril, ne concernent que Michel Fourniret, même si son épouse était dans le secret de ses expéditions. Chaque soir, en bon mari qui retrace sa journée, il détaillait ses menus travaux, ses pérégrinations et autres occupations, comme le viol et l'assassinat de la jeune Céline Saison ou l'agression sauvage de Joëlle Parfondry, une Belge gravement traumatisée qui sera entendue aujourd'hui .
The third week of the trial will be dedicated to Joëlle and Céline.
Monique Olivier can breath a little. No more embarrassing questions about her complicity, about her active or passive involvement in the criminal events being tried by the Ardennes Court of Assizes. The last four cases, which will be examined from now until April 30th, only concern Michel Fourniret, even if his wife was in on the secret of his expeditions. Each evening, like a good husband, who goes over his day, he would give details of his odd jobs, his travels and other occupations, such as the rape and murder of the young Céline Saison or the savage assault on Joëlle Parfondry, a seriously traumatised Belgian woman, who will be heard today.
Une mandarine dans la bouche*
Joëlle Parfondry est vivante parce qu'elle a eu la présence d'esprit de mentir : au violeur, elle a crié « je suis enceinte », simulé des douleurs au ventre. Fourniret en a perdu ses moyens. Pourtant, ce 19 janvier 1995, quand il arrive au salon de toilettage pour chiens à Jambes, en Belgique, il est déterminé à faire un sort à la propriétaire : « L'action était préméditée », avouera-t-il, d'où la cagoule sur le visage. Mains liées dans le dos, Joëlle est allongée nue et menacée d'un revolver et d'un couteau à cran d'arrêt. Il l'oblige à le supplier de lui « faire un petit plaisir » mais elle se débat, prétexte une grossesse. Très en colère, il lui met une mandarine dans la bouche pour la faire taire, l'empoigne par la nuque, lui frappe la tête contre le rebord de la douche. Fourniret vole chéquiers, argent et cartes de crédit, puis s'enfuit. Neuf ans après, Monique balance son mari. Joëlle apprend enfin le nom de son bourreau.
A mandarin in the mouth.
Joëlle Parfondry is alive because she had the presence of mind to lie: to the rapist, she shouted, "I am pregnant," and feigned stomach pains. Fourniret went to pieces. yet, on January 19th 1995, when he arrived at the dog grooming salon, in Belgium, he was determined to make short work of the owner: "The action was premeditated," he was to confess, through the hood over his face. Hands tied behind her back, Joëlle lay naked, threatened with a gun and a serrated knife. He forces her to provide him with, "giving a little pleasure," but she struggles, on the pretext of a pregnancy. Very angry, he places a mandarin in her mouth to silence her, grabs her by the neck, hits her head against the edge of the shower. Fourniret steals cheque books, money and credit cards, then he flees. Nine years later, Monique Olivier informs on her husband. Joëlle finally learns the name of her torturer.
Il était fier de lui*
Céline Saison, 18 ans, n'a pas eu la chance de déstabiliser Fourniret. Lorsque, le 16 mai 2000, elle quitte le lycée Chanzy de Charleville-Mézières après l'épreuve de philo au bac blanc, l'adolescente croise un automobiliste perdu. Pour l'aider à retrouver son chemin, la serviable Céline monte dans sa fourgonnette. « Sous la menace de l'aveugler avec de l'acide, expliquera le prévenu, je lui ai gentiment demandé de faire l'amour. » Le viol consommé, Céline est étranglée avec de la ficelle. Michel Fourniret rentre à la maison, vide le sac de la jeune Ardennaise, regarde avec Monique les photos du dernier voyage scolaire. Elle brûlera le tout le lendemain. Aux policiers en 2004, l'épouse benoîte dira que « M. Fourniret n'a pas manifesté de remords. Au contraire, il était fier de lui, comme d'habitude. »
He was proud of himself.
Céline Saison, aged 18, didn' have the chance to unsettle Fourniret. On May 16th 2000, when she is leaving the Chanzy de Charleville-Mézières school after a baccalauréat philosophy exam, the teenager comes across a motorist who is lost. To help him find his way, the helpful Céline climbs into his van. "Under the threat of blinding her with acid," the accused would explain, "I asked her kindly to make love." The rape achieved, Céline is strangled with string. Michel Fourniret goes home, empties the young Ardennes girl's bag, with Monique looks at the photos of the last school trip. She would burn everything the following day. To the police officers in 2004, the ingratiating wife was to say, "M. Fourniret showed no remorse. On the contrary, he was proud of himself, as usual."
********Transcript ends********
The families of Michel Fourniret's victims sit in the court and listen to the horrendous details. Joëlle Parfondry will relive the trauma of a violent rape. Yet, these people, whose lives were changed forever, are hearing that to Michel Fourniret and his wife, rape and murder were part of the everyday conversation of the evil pair. Fourniret returned home and related his day: a few odd jobs, a rape and murder. The violent murder of young girls and young women, was just another part of Michel Fourniret's day, to be related along with the odd jobs he did. The suffering of these young people and of their families must have meant absolutely nothing to him. I shall never have a way of understanding such evil lack of humanity.
