Austria kidnap case: 'How were we deceived?' town asks

Horrified residents in the Austrian town where a 73-year-old man imprisoned and repeatedly raped his daughter for 24 years are questioning how he deceived police, neighbours and social workers for so long.

Retired electrician Josef Fritzl confessed yesterday to imprisoning his daughter Elisabeth and fathering seven children with her in a windowless cell sealed by an electronic keyless-entry system.
