THE father of five children murdered by their mother has been stuck with
the
bill for her trial and conviction.
A Belgian court sentenced Genevieve Lhermitte to life in prison last year
for killing her son and four daughters, aged three to 14, in 2007, while
her
then husband was on a trip to Morocco.

As Lhermitte is in jail and insolvent, the Belgian state has sought to
recover court expenses and collect fines from Bouchaib Moqadem.

"I don't know what to say. I am disgusted and revolted that I, who was
wrongly deprived of my children, am being asked to pay for the trial of my
ex-wife, who was convicted of murdering my five children by cruelly
slitting
their throats," Mr Moqadem told the newspaper Le Soir.

The bill appears to conform with Belgian law, with the state seeking funds
due to have been shared from the sale of their house under their divorce
agreement.

So does that mean the state will take the wife's share of the sale proceeds?
Instead of giving his wife 1/2 he now pays the court costs out of her share?

Wendy has a point here - if the money is Genevieve's, then the ste has
a legitimate right to try to get it.
