Anguish In Austria At Incest Ordeal
Updated:14:56, Tuesday April 29, 2008
Austrians are demanding to know how a 73-year-old man got away with imprisoning his daughter in his cellar while repeatedly raping her over a period of 24 years.
Elisabeth was abused by her father Josef Fritzl has confessed to imprisoning his daughter Elisabeth, now 42, in three cramped underground rooms beneath the family home in the town of Amstetten.
He also admitted fathering seven children she had, one of whom died shortly after its birth - whereupon he threw the body into a furnace used to heat the home.
Three of Elisabeth's children, aged 19, 18 and five, had been locked in the cellar with her since birth and had never seen sunlight until the crimes were exposed.
Three other children - two girls and one boy - were adopted and brought up by Fritzl and his wife Rosemarie, who claims to have been ignorant of what was going on.
Fritzl said Elisabeth had joined a sect and that she had left three of the children on the doorstep. He forced Elisabeth to write letters by hand to back up his claims.
Part of the underground prison Elisabeth and her children are now reportedly being treated in a specially-segregated unit to shield them from the shock of the outside world.
