Judgement awaited in the trial of man accused of raping and imprisoning his daughter for 24 years

A judgement is expected today in the case of Josef Fritzl. He surprised the court on Wednesday by reversing his previous stance and pleading guilty to charges of murder and enslavement. The court in Sankt Poelten, Austria, is trying Fritzl on those counts as well as rape and incest for having held his daughter captive in a cellar 24 years long. During that time he fathered seven children by her, one of whom died.
