30/04/2008 - 13:25:45

Police in Austria are examining links between the murder of a young woman and the man who has confessed to holding his daughter captive for 24 years and fathering her seven children.

The body of Martina Posch was discovered 22 years ago near a lake where Josef Fritzl owned property.

Martina, who was 17, had vanished 10 days earlier.

Her corpse was found on the shore of Mondsee lake near Salzburg.

She was believed to have been raped.

Fritzl has admitted keeping his daughter Elisabeth in a secret dungeon underneath his home in the town of Amstetten where she had the seven children by him.
