Victims of French serial killer face last chance for justice as accomplice of ‘Ogre’ goes on trial

Ex-wife of Michel Fourniret will be tried for her role in three more murders, including that of 20-year-old Leeds student Joanna Parrish

For more than 30 years, the parents of British student Joanna Parrish have battled for justice for their daughter, murdered by the French serial killer Michel Fourniret in 1990.

Often, when the killer was still unidentified and at large, Roger Parrish and his ex-wife Pauline would travel to northern Burgundy looking for clues, appealing for witnesses, badgering seemingly insouciant investigators to do their job, seeking answers they never found.
