VIENNA (Reuters) – An Austrian court on Monday overturned a lower court’s decision that 88-year-old incestuous rapist Josef Fritzl should be transferred to a regular prison from a prison psychiatric unit, Austrian news agency APA reported.
Fritzl, who has now changed his name to one not made public, raped his daughter as he held her captive for 24 years, fathering her seven children. A court in the town of Krems ordered the transfer in January, but prosecutors filed a complaint aimed at overturning that decision.
