The story of Belgian Marc Dutroux, who kidnapped, tortured and abused six girls during 1995 and 1996 - four of whom he murdered. The country's initial joy at the rescue of two of the captives turned to horror when information emerged about the police investigation, suggesting that corruption - and not incompetence - led to Dutroux being free to carry on with his crimes for so long. This possibility brought 300,000 people to the streets in protest and left the nation in turmoil (thetvdb.com)
