French prosecutors said Wednesday that they want to try the ex-wife of the "Ogre of the Ardennes" serial killer Michel Fourniret for complicity in three kidnappings and two murders.

Fourniret's death two years ago has left Monique Olivier, 74, as the only suspect in the 2003 kidnapping of Estelle Mouzin and the kidnappings, rapes and murders of Marie-Angele Domece in 1988 and British woman Joanna Parrish in 1990.
