A Belgian serial rapist who asked to be euthanised because of his "unbearable" psychological suffering is to have his wish granted.
Frank Van Den Bleeken, who has spent 30 years behind bars after being convicted of a series of rapes and the rape and murder of a teenage girl, will be euthanised in a jail in Bruges on 11 January, local media reported.
According to an interview he gave with Belgian media, Van Den Bleeken refused to be considered for early parole, as he believed himself to be a menace to society but considered the conditions of his detention unbearable.

That's really sad. He's served his time, and Im glad his wishes are being granted. He's clearly very sick
It's fascinating to me that there are people who don't WANT to hurt anyone, but just can't fight the urge not to. This is one of the many reason why I don't believe in God.
