Josef Fritzl, the man who incarcerated his daughter beneath his home for 24 years, has issued a frank confession from his cell, in which he has said he was driven by an addiction which ”got out of control”. Fritzl (73) said: ”I knew that what I was doing was not right, that I must be mad for doing such a thing.”
An Austrian accused of keeping his daughter as a sex slave for 24 years insisted he is ”no monster”, but that he could have killed his daughter and her children without anyone knowing, a newspaper reported on Wednesday. Josef Fritzl’s claims were published as the 73-year-old was interviewed by prosecutors for the first time.
