Trial of Josef Fritzl, Man who Kept Daughter and Children Caged in Dungeon, Won’t Include Testimony from Six Victims

The trial of Josef Fritzl, the Austrian man accused of keeping his own daughter locked in a basement dungeon and fathering seven children with her, will not include the testimony of six of those children according to court boss Kurt Leitzenberger.

 

While the children won’t testify Elisabeth, the daughter held for 24 years, will and prosecutors believe her testimony will be enough to convict Fritzl.

 

Now 42, Elisabeth was 18-years-old when her father locked her in the basement and sexually abused her for more than two decades. Elisabeth gave birth to seven children but one died at birth. Fritzl eventually took three of the children out of the basement and moved them into the house he shared with his wife.

 

It wasn’t until the oldest child Fritzl fathered with Elisabeth, Kerstin, became extremely ill and needed to be taken to the hospital that his crimes were revealed. He is now set to stand trial in the fall. The family’s attorney has said testimony from eth children would be too traumatizing.
