Marc Dutroux, Belgium's most reviled man, was found guilty of kidnapping and raping six girls, killing two of them and causing the death of two others, after a trial that gripped the country for months. After three days of deliberations, the jury found the man described by experts as a self-absorbed psychopath guilty on all counts for crimes that shocked the country in 1996. Dutroux, 47, faces life in prison. The crimes, which included the death by starvation of two girls in a basement dungeon in Dutroux's house near the southern city of Charleroi, have haunted the country for years.
