French police botched Michel Fourniret case, say UK victim’s parents

Roger Parrish and Pauline Murrell say police might have stopped serial killer and his accomplice sooner

The parents of Joanna Parrish, the British student who was murdered by the French serial killer Michel Fourniret 33 years ago, have said their daughter and other victims could have been saved if police in France had done their job properly.

Roger Parrish and Pauline Murrell believe chances were missed to get to Fourniret before he beat, raped and killed their daughter and threw her body in a river in 1990.
