Fritzl to remain in custody for further month
Friday, May 09, 2008
An Austrian court's has ordered that the man who allegedly imprisoned and
raped his daughter for 24 years be kept in custody for a further month.
Seventy-three-year-old Josef Fritzl appeared in court for the first time
today since his arrest last week.
He has apparently confessed to locking his teenage daughter in a secret
underground living area 24 years ago.
The now 42-year-old woman was rescued last week along with three of the
seven children she gave birth to as a result of sexual abuse at the hands of
her father.
