The widow of a French serial killer known as the "Ogre of the Ardennes", who is on trial over her role in three murders dating back decades, said on Wednesday that she admitted to "all the facts."
Monique Olivier's husband, Michel Fourniret, was charged with abduction, rape and murder in the cases but died in 2021 before he could be brought to trial. Fournier was accused of seeking out virgins to rape and murder over a nearly two-decade span.
The trial of his wife opened in the town of Nanterre, in the west suburbs of Paris, on Tuesday.

A single moment captured by an Army photographer became the most enduring image of America's greatest military operation.
