Convicted paedophile child killer Marc Dutroux has been sentenced to life in prison for the kidnap, rape and murder of young girls.
A court in Arlon sentenced his ex-wife Michelle Martin to 30 years in prison.
Co-accused Michel Lelievre got 25 years and Michel Nihoul was jailed for five years at the end of a case which became notorious around the world.
Under Belgian law, sentencing was decided by the 12 jurors and the panel of three judges together.
Dutroux was found guilty last week of leading a gang that kidnapped and raped six girls in the mid-1990s, leading to the deaths of four of them.
Prosecutors had called for 30-year jail terms for Martin and Lelievre, and at least 10 years for Nihoul, a businessman.
Nihoul was acquitted of kidnapping but convicted of smuggling drugs and people into Belgium.
The case has been dubbed Belgium's trial of the century.
The bodies of An Marchal, 17, and Eefje Lambrecks, 19, were found in 1996 in the garden of a house in the suburbs of the city of Charleroi owned by Dutroux. Post-mortem reports showed they had been raped and beaten before being drugged and buried alive.
The discovery came shortly after the bodies of two eight-year-olds, Melissa Russo and Julie Lejeune, were found in the garden of another property belonging to Dutroux. They had been repeatedly raped before dying of starvation, post-mortem reports showed.
One of the surviving victims who gave evidence at the trial was Sabine Dardenne, who was kept in a purpose-built dungeon in Dutroux's basement for 80 days.
She was repeatedly raped before being rescued by police in 1996.
Laetitia Delhez - another young woman who was incarcerated in the same basement - also testified at the trial.
