Incest MONSTER Josef Fritzl Moved to Regular Prison in First Step of His Parole
MONSTER Josef Fritzl Could Soon Be FREE - Kept Daughter in Cellar For 24 Years And Fathered Seven of Her Children
Fritzl Was Found Guilty in 2009 of Imprisonment, Incest, Sequestration and Rape
Defiant Josef Fritzl believes he will 'go free one day and go fishing' despite a life sentence for keeping his daughter as a sex slave for 24 years
Daily Mail 16 JAN 2024
British-born journalist Mark Perry broke the story of Josef Fritzl in April 2008. He first spoke to Fritzl when he claimed his daughter Elisabeth had run away
Elisabeth, pictured as a young girl, endured years of horrific abuse at the hands of her father who is now languishing in jail - but has spoken of his hopes to be a free man one day
In a new Channel 5 documentary, Mark Perry, who has remained in touch with Fritzl's solicitor, reveals the Austrian has dreams of carrying on with his normal life.
Perry first broke the story of the 'house of horrors' in 2008, when it was discovered that Fritzl, now 82, had imprisoned his daughter Elisabeth, now 51, as his sex slave for 24 years and fathered seven of her children.
'Fritzl is still in prison of course, and he still dreams of coming free,' says Perry, appearing on Fritzl: What Happened Next.
'That’s what the solicitor told me. He still thinks he’ll come free one day, go fishing and, and carry on with life.'
British-born Perry, who has lived in Austria for 50 years, works for the biggest national newspaper the Kronen Zeitung, and first met Fritzl when he told police that Elisabeth had run off to join a sect aged 18.
The second time Perry came face-to-face with Fritzl was 24 years later when it emerged that he had kept his daughter in a windowless basement cellar he had specially constructed and repeatedly raped and abused her.
'She must be a brave woman, a strong woman. I think she lived for her own children,' Perry says. 'That’s what kept her and let her not surrender. I think that was the thing.'
Immediately before Fritzl's trial began, Perry explained how the man appeared: 'His eyes were cold and piercing. No remorse, no compassion, for anyone on earth but himself. No tears. Nothing.
'It was normal procedure. Just like he was going to the doctors or somewhere else... No remorse. No compassion for his daughter. No compassion for his grandchildren who of course, his own children.'
Fritzl fathered all seven of Elisabeths' children and kept three of them with him and his wife Rosemarie, who was oblivious to what lay beneath her home.
She thought the three children had been abandoned by Elisabeth after Fritzl convinced her that their daughter had ran away and the evil rapist masqueraded as the childrens' grandfather.
It was the critical illness of Elisabeth's 19-year-old incest daughter Kerstin in April 2008 which finally heralded the end of the secret cellar and its inhabitants.
Under pressure from a terrified Elisabeth, who warned that Kerstin would die unless she received medical attention, Fritzl took her to hospital, bringing the gruesome story to light and attracting massive media interest.
Fritzl was found guilty in 2009 of murder over the death of one of Elisabeths' babies, as well as incest, sequestration and 3,000 counts of rape. He was jailed for life.
The most recent reports about Elisabeth say she lives with her six surviving children at a secret location in Austria, and she has never spoken publicly about her ordeal.
