An evil 87-year-old who imprisoned and raped his daughter for 24 years is set to stay in a high-security prison after court judges reversed plans to move him in a softer jail.
Josef Fritzl was jailed for life in 2009 after keeping his daughter Elizabeth Fritzl, who disappeared aged 18 in 1984 when he lured her down to the self-built dungeon-like basement chamber in their home in Amstetten, Austria.
She was kept down there until 2008 where she was raped thousands of times. This led to Josef fathering seven children with his daughter.
Three of the children remained in captivity with their mother. One died at the hands of Fritzl, a matter of days after being born. He disposed of the body in an incinerator.
The other three were brought up Fritzl and his wife, Rosemarie.
And now, court judges have reversed plans to move him to a softer jail after spending 23 years in a high-security prison for mentally ill criminals.
