Incest Murderer gets Life Sentence

Amstetten : Austria | 8 months ago  
Views: 395

Josef Fritzl has been found guilty of all the charges against him, ranging from false imprisonment to murder, and has been sentenced to life imprisonment.

The 73 year old imprisoned his daughter for nearly 25 years and fathered seven children by her, raping her over 3,000 in the process. One of the children died when Fritzl refused to get medical help after his birth.

Fritzl will spend at least 15 years in psychiatrist hospital. He admitted to rape, false imprisonment, incest, murder by negligence and slavery. He had orginally denied murder but soon changed his plea when he saw his daughter in court. Despite the change of plea, the chief prosecutor asked the jury not to be lenient.

    It sounds like an extremely abnormal behavior, I would want know what psychologists have to say about someone like him.

    This is obscenity, absolutely inhumane and unbelievable. If this man was really sick as it is quite obvious, he should be kept away from the public as far away as possible. Poor girl, I feel so bad for her!

    I absolutely agree Majdy. This abuse is so unspeakably wicked. And it's horrible that she wasn't able to escape and had to endure the abuse/suffering for so many years.

    It makes me go into depression every time I think of the daughter and the children from her father... I just can't seem to digest it! I don't think life imprisonment is good enough punishment.... I wonder what he went through in life to become this way.... people can be so twisted sometimes... scary.

    I wouldn't have felt so bad for the girl if he had just killed her without putting her through so much! It was completely unimaginable before this for some father to torture his daughter like this!
