Fritzl house to be razed

THE house under which Austrian Josef Fritzl imprisoned and abused his daughter and the children he fathered with her should be reduced to rubble, a provincial judge has said.

Judge Markus Sonnleitner, who is handling the jailed Fritzl’s insolvency, said the grey concrete building in the northern Austrian town of Amstetten was unlikely to fetch a buyer because of its dark history.

“This house should be knocked down. There is a lot of interest in seeing it vanish completely,” he told daily Kurier.
