AUSTRIA - Investigations in Josef Fritzl incest and sexual abuse case revealed yesterday that he started building the underground dungeon in which he imprisoned his daughter six years before her incarceration began .
Speaking to The Times at a press conference today, Colonel Franz Polzer said:
Mr Fritzl had planned the imprisoning and sexual abuse of his Elisabeth in astonishing detail. Fritzl acted with premeditation when he began building the underground cellar of his home in 1978. We assume he had already selected his daughter Elisabeth who was to become a prisoner of the concrete dungeon.
Fritzl, 73, is accused of imprisoning his daughter , now 42, in a purpose-built dungeon beneath his house, where he sexually abused her as she gave birth to seven of his children.
Col Polzer also revealed that investigators, who have so far been focusing on examining the scene of the crime, Fritzl’s three-storey family house in the town of Amstetten, have found a second entrance to the dungeon.
The 500kg iron and concrete door leading to the second entrance to the dungeon was so well-concealed and difficult to open, that police had to use heavy machinery borrowed from the local fire fighting brigade.
The door was hidden in a room beneath the stairs that could be approached from the garden. The room resembles a setting of a horror film, with countless pipes and electrical cables and the door, which weights about 500 kg and is only one metre high, is so difficult to detect, that it is reminiscent of something from the Harry Potter books.
