The revelation came to surface after diaries were found in the monster’s house, according to police sources.

Fritzl locked his daughter Elisabeth in a secret cellar at his home in Amstetten, Austria, for 24 years ago and subjected her to brutal rapes. She bore him seven children, reports the Mirror.

Elisabeth, now 42, was freed in April after her daughter Kerstin, 19, became dangerously ill and was taken to hospital.

Meanwhile, the devil’s wife Rosemarie, 69, said she will divorce him after his trial in the autumn.
She joined Elisabeth and her children in a psychiatric clinic after his arrest but moved out after a rift developed.

Josef Fritzl, the man who held his daughter captive in a cellar for 24 years and fathered seven children with her, may be charged with slavery, prosecutors in Austria said today.

The authorities hope to have a series of formal charges ready by the end of September and a trial would begin in December, according to Gerhard Sedlacek, the prosecutor in the town of St Poelten, where Fritzl is being held.

Investigators said Fritzl confessed to keeping his daughter Elisabeth captive in an underground cellar at his home in Amstetten when she was 18, sexually abusing her and fathering seven children with her, including one whose body he allegedly tossed into a furnace.

DNA tests confirmed he is the surviving children's biological father. Three of the children were confined to the underground cellar, deprived of natural light and room to move freely, and three children were raised above ground by Fritzl and his wife, Rosemarie.

Frizl, 73, is being held in pre-trial detention in St Poelten, 50 miles west of the capital, Vienna. His alleged victims, including Elisabeth, 42, are receiving treatment in a psychiatric hospital.

The case came to light in April after one of the children, Kerstin, 19, became seriously ill and was taken to hospital. Unable to find any medical records, the police and hospital authorities appealed for the girl's mother to come forward.

Fritzl told staff that his daughter had been unable to look after Kerstin and had left her in front of his house. However, he later released Elisabeth, who explained what had happened to the police.

Kerstin was reunited with her family after coming out of a coma and is expected to make a full recovery.

The 69-year-old, who claims she knew nothing of her husband's 24-year incarceration of her daughter in a cellar under their house, says she is another of Fritzl's victims.

She brought up three of the seven children Fritzl fathered by his captive daughter Elisabeth at the couple's home in Amstetten, Austria, believing his story that Elisabeth had dumped them before joining a cult.
