Austrian 'Horror House' Dad Charged With Murder
2008-11-13
VIENNA, Austria -- Austrian prosecutors say the man accused of imprisoning his daughter for 24 years and fathering her seven children has been charged with murder. The state attorney's office says it has charged suspect Josef Fritzl with homicide because one of the children died in infancy. Prosecutors say experts believe the infant might have survived if Fritzl had arranged for proper medical care.

The 73-year-old retired electrician also was charged Thursday with rape, incest, false imprisonment and slavery. Fritzl's trial is expected to begin early in 2009.

His daughter, now 42, and several children were released in April and have been getting counseling at an undisclosed location.

#3  They are saying he would only get 10-20 yrs and the prosecutor wants him to spend it in an insane asylum. I know heÂ’s old but that seems too good for him. It should be 100 yrs or something. It would send a message to the daughter that what he did was horrible and he deserves the severest of punishments. Unless the asylums are horrific in Austria but I canÂ’t believe that. On another site they said He should go to prison and be in the general population. And let his crimes be known. I agreee! That would take care of him! I donÂ’t think sheÂ’ll ever feel free until he dies.

#2  Hangings too good for him. Send him to Prison for life (General Pop) and let his crimes be known.

I'm sure he will be _real_ popular...
