Dungeon father upset at media coverage 07/05/2008 - 12:27:20
Dungeon father Josef Fritzl, who had seven children by raping his daughter, is upset at being portrayed as a “monster” by the media, his lawyer revealed today.
Fritzl, who kept daughter Elisabeth and three of their children imprisoned in a cellar beneath his house, has been allowed a TV in his cell.
His lawyer Rudolf Mayer said Fritzl was closely watching coverage of his crime and was disturbed at how he was being described.
Meanwhile, a prosecutor met Fritzl face-to face for the first time since his arrest in Austria last week.
The meeting between Christiane Burkheiser and Fritzl, began slightly before 9am today.
Authorities say that 73-year-old Fritzl initially confessed to imprisoning and raping his daughter but has since remained silent.
He has not yet been charged and remains in pre-trial detention.
