French police question 'Ogre of Ardennes' over girl missing since 2003

Serial killer Michel Fourniret will be interviewed about nine-year-old Estelle Mouzin after wife withdraws alibi

French investigators are hoping a notorious serial killer will finally solve the mystery of what happened to a nine-year-old girl who disappeared on her way home from school 17 years ago.

Michel Fourniret, known as the Ogre of the Ardennes, was jailed for life in 2008 for killing seven girls and young women. He subsequently admitted other murders, including that of the British language student Joanna Parrish in 1990, and has been linked to other killings.
