Monster dad Fritzl begs girl for money

After imprisoning and raping daughter for 24 yrs, he now sends her letters asking her to fund his legal training


Austrian incestu00a0 monster Josef Fritzl has been writing begging letters to the daughter he locked up and raped in a secret dungeon for 24 years. Every two weeks, Fritzl (74) pens a pleading note to daughter Elisabeth (43), who suffered over 3,000 rapes at his hands and bore him seven children.u00a0

He says he needs money "to study to be a lawyer so I can defend myself" but Elisabeth never replies. In some of the notes he asks for u00a33,500 (Rs 2.5 lakh).

No shampoo

He even moans about not being able to get the special shampoo he claims he needs for his implanted hair. Frtizl, who was sentenced inu00a0 March last year, bombards Elisabeth with the letters, asking for money from his cell at the psychiatric top security prison of Stein, Austria.

Fritzl of Oz

The 'Josef Fritzl' of Australia was slapped with a 22-year prison term for sexually abusing his daughter for 30 years and forcing her to mother four of his children. The 66-year-old, who had sexually abused his daughter since she was 13, was convicted yesterday.

Hated by the other convicts, he is alone in a single cell for nearly 24 hours a day with his food pushed through a small slot in the door.

There have been numerous death threats against him from fellow prisoners.

Doctors say he is not a suicide threat, but his mental state is deteriorating.

Fritzl's sister-in-law Christine revealed the details of the letters he sends to Elisabeth in which he complains "I can't even get a Cola or special shampoo for my hair implants."u00a0 There is never a word of regret or an apology from him. "Josef dreams all the time of a future with his wife Rosemarie,"u00a0 said Christine.

"But she will not have anything further to do with him."

Fritzl's debts

Rosemarie has apparently lost weight, spends her days painting pictures and tidying her small flat. She was not allowed to take any possessions from the rambling 66-room house beneath which her husband built his secret rape-dungeon because it is sealed by the court as Fritzl has debts of over u00a32million (Rs 14.5 crore), which must be settled.

As to Elisabeth's future, Christine reported that she is looked after by the other residents of the village where she lives with her children. Elisabeth said she has received nearly u00a350,000 (Rsu00a0 36 lakh) in back child payments from the state and has "no financial worries".
