Tragic: Josef Fritzl in court yesterday. Elisabeth before he enslaved her for 24 years |
One journalist said, "I have never gone where she lives, but the area is crawling with photographers every day now. It looks like she will be hounded wherever she goes. It is sad and disappointing."
Counsellors treating Elisabeth and her children, say publication of photographs of them could make a full recovery impossible.
Bojan Pancevski, author of upcoming book The Crimes Of Josef Fritzl Investigating The Truth, said, "Sadly it will
be very hard for Elisabeth to avoid being found. Anyone who sees a woman with six children move into the area is going to be suspicious."
Meanwhile, her father Josef Fritzl was yesterday sentenced to life in a secure psychiatrc unit after a jury agreed with his guilty pleas to a catalogue of horrific crimes. He admitted the murder by negligence of a baby boy born in the cellar in 1996.
Fritzl will be assessed by doctors to establish where he will serve his sentence and what treatment he will receive.
I've met worse men: Fritzl's lawyer
LAWYER Rudolf Mayer defended his decision to act for Josef Fritzl. Said Mayer, "He is, inside, a man with a heart and a mind that wants and needs to destroy him, but he wants to change.
There is good in him. He is not the most evil man in the world. I have met men who are worse and more criminal than him."
He added, "Fritzl is being portrayed as a horrific monster. My job is to show him as a human being."
