Default Fritzl house to be knocked down!

THE house where cellar beast Josef Fritzl locked up and raped his own daughter in a secret dungeon is to be destroyed.
A judge in charge of selling off Fritzl's estate revealed: "There seems to be lots of interest in seeing it disappear.

"This seems to be the sensible course as there is little chance of ever selling the property for a profit.

"It should be done as quickly as possible."

The announcement puts an end to speculation over what will happen to the house of horrors.



Horror ... house where Fritzl imprisoned daughter
Evil Fritzl imprisoned daughter Elisabeth in the property in the small town of Amstetten, Austria, when she was just 18.

He kept her as his sex slave, raping her an estimated 3,000 times over 24 years, before his sick crimes were discovered in April 2008.

The 75-year-old fathered seven children with her, one of whom died in her dingy underground prison guarded by eight secret doors.

He was sentenced to life last year, for enslavement, imprisonment, rape, and the murder of the child who died.

Judge Markus Sonnleitner said he was looking for a way to pull down the building without attracting "too much attention".

Locals have welcomed the decision after concerns an entrepreneur might buy the property and turn it into a grisly museum.

Sick horror fans still come by to photograph the house, the doors of which have been welded shut to prevent souvenir hunters trying to break into the cellar.

Fritzl had built the dungeon under the house for his daughter and their children, while he lived a seemingly normal life with his wife upstairs.

Three of the incest children were brought up by the couple after he convinced authorities that Elisabeth, now 43, had run away to join a cult and had left the babies on his doorstep.

The decision to destroy the property comes as controversy over a decision to allow him planning permission for others still rages in Austria.

Last week he was given the green light to go ahead with a building project while in jail.

He had lodged blueprints to build houses, an office block and an underground car park two years before his secret life was revealed.

The mayor of Amstetten said he was embarrassed by the plan but had no choice but to allow it to proceed as all planning criteria were met.

Neighbours of the new development are appealing against the decision.
