His former wife, Michelle Martin, 53, who let two girls starve to death in the cellar while her husband was in jail for theft was approved for early release in July. She now lives in a convent. The court is not expected to rule on Dutroux's request for freedom until Feb 18. Prison officials and prosecutors have recommended against his release. (AP Photo/Yves Logghe, File)
