Belgian officers find two bodies

Belgian police investigating the disappearance of two young girls in the eastern city of Liege have discovered two bodies.
Stepsisters Stacy Lemmens, seven, and Nathalie Mahy, 10, went missing almost three weeks ago during a street party.

A suspect turned himself in to police two weeks ago, but has denied any involvement in their disappearance.

A police news conference is due. The case has revived Belgians' memories of Marc Dutroux's paedophile killings.

The first body was found first near railway lines under a manhole cover just 400 metres (437 yards) from where the girls were last seen.

A lawyer for Stacy Lemmens' family confirmed to the RTBF state television station that police had found the seven-year-old's body.

Shortly afterwards, an RTBF correspondent said police had found a second body, thought to be that of Nathalie, 20 metres (22 yards) from the first corpse.

Shocking case

The two girls were last spotted near a cafe in the street where the party was held before they went missing.

Magistrates on Tuesday granted police more time to question the suspect in the case, Abdellah Ait Oud, a convicted paedophile whose girlfriend works at the cafe.

Belgium was deeply shocked by the Marc Dutroux paedophile case, in which two girls from Liege disappeared in June 1995.

Their bodies were not found until a year later - in Dutroux's garden.

In 2004 Dutroux was found guilty of leading a gang that kidnapped and raped six girls in the mid-1990s, leading to the deaths of four of them.
