Austrian monster Josef Fritzl, infamous for holding his daughter captive for 24 years and fathering seven children with her through incest, is being transferred to a regular prison after a court decision. Despite being sentenced to life imprisonment in 2009 for his heinous crimes of rape, coercion, false imprisonment, and incest, Fritzl is now set to move out of a psychiatric unit. Emotions ran high as the decision was made by a panel of three female judges, with Fritzl's lawyer stating he was 'close to tears.' The move raises concerns as the 'monster of Amstetten' nears potential full release next year, having served 15 years of his sentence.
