Pic shows: Marc Dutroux in prison; The serial killer and child rapist Dutroux who is serving life has demanded his prison work wage be doubled and for workout equipment as life behind bars makes him fat. Depraved Belgian paedophile Marc Dutroux, 60, was given a life sentence for the kidnap, torture, rape and murder of young girls in the 1990s. Four were murdered and two were found starving in the torture basement of his home in Belgium.

Dehayez said: "Dutroux is getting quite a bit fatty because of the prison food and because he is not allowed to just leave his cell."

Dutroux, who has been locked up for 20 years, has also demanded a twice-monthly haircut. Already in January Dehayez demanded a proper haircut for his client after he complained about having "a repulsive appearance." Prisoners in the Nivelles jail usually cut each other’s hair but none of them are allowed near Dutroux with scissors for fear of them attacking him. The prisoner, who is held in solitary confinement, is not allowed to cut his own hair either as he is considered a suicide risk. Mr Dayez said: "It is disgusting. A prisoner is a prisoner. Dutroux has the right to be treated the exact same way as others. He tries hard to keep up his personal hygiene the best he c
