Dungeon dad who 'forced daughter to watch porn' charged with murder

London, Nov 13 : Austrian incest fiend Josef Fritzl, who forced his daughter to watch porno videos with him in her underground prison and then made her re-enact the film scenes, has been charged for murdering one of the children he fathered with her.

The 73-year-old, who's a retired engineer, was charged with murder and slave trade after allegedly sexually abusing and incarcerating his daughter Elisabeth, 42, in the cellar of his home, where one of the children she was forced to bear died due to lack of medical attention, reports the Telegraph.

The charges, which include a detailed account of Fritzl's suspected crimes, have been leaked to Austria's leading tabloid Krone Zeitung.

According to the reports, Fritzl coerced his daughter into having sex with him "several times a day" by "beating and kicking her" to break her fierce resistance.

As per prosecutors quoted by the newspaper, Elisabeth's will was broken with time and she gave up trying to fight her father off because her "situation was hopeless."

Fritzl only made available a pair of scissors to cut the umbilical cord, a non-sterile blanket to wrap the infants in and a pack of nappies while Elisabeth was left to give birth to her seven children on her own.

The deliveries took place in a contaminated atmosphere without a source of fresh air and no heating or hot water.
