I saw that there was a previous thread on this story, as you can imagine this is huge news in Europe.  There is no other word for this man but evil.

Elisabeth Fritzl was forced to help build the dungeon where she was kept by her sadistic father Josef, it emerged yesterday.

For the first nine months of her 24 years in captivity, she was also tethered with a 5ft dog leash around her neck to prevent her escape.


Elisabeth, now 42, had been sexually abused by her father since the age of 11.


She ran away from home at the age of 16 but was dragged back by Fritzl and locked up when he suspected she was planning to leave again.


For the first nine years, he imprisoned her in a grim 15ft by 15ft box room which had a makeshift toilet in one corner.


She told police that Fritzl forced her to help drag a 600lb concrete and steel door into position to seal the dungeon.


It was only when it was in place that she discovered she had helped to build her own prison.


Fritzl finally agreed to expand the cellar - again with Elisabeth's help - after she had given birth to two of his children.


He forced her to dig out the chambers by hand, working for hours at a time. The process took nearly a decade.
