Notorious Belgian paedophile Marc Dutroux was sentenced to life in prison for kidnapping, raping and killing girls in a series of crimes that shocked the country nearly eight years ago.
Judge Stephane Goux handed down the sentence at a court in this eastern town near Luxembourg after more than an hour of deliberation with the jury.
Last week, Dutroux was found guilty of kidnapping and raping six girls, killing two of them and causing the death of two others.
