50 migrants to live in "house of horror" where father, for 24 years, raped daughter inside homemade dungeon
Some migrant families have been offered a chance to stay at an Austrian home where a man took her daughter hostage and raped her for 24 years.
Josef Fritzl, now 80, held daughter Elisabeth hostage in a homemade dungeon and abused her till she was almost middle-aged.
Migrants are now being told to stay in the Amstetten”house of horror” where the atrocities were committed.
The Fritzl case emerged in 2008 when 42-year-old Elisabeth told the police she had been held captive and raped by her father.
The abuse resulted in the birth of seven children and one miscarriage.
Four of the children joined their mother in captivity, and three were raised by Josef and his wife Rosemarie.
Joseph, then 73, was jailed for life in 2009.
The house in which he committed the horrendous crime has been on sale for some time but had no offers.
Austrians are apparently afraid of being haunted by the horror that went down there.
Thousands of refugees are arriving Austria every day, stretching local infrastructure to the limit.
As many as 50 migrants seeking asylum could now be sent to the “house of horror.”
Local authorities overseeing Amstetten in Austria are under pressure to find homes for migrants who have been allotted to stay in the area.
Rather than let the “house of horror” go to waste, officials are planning to house migrants in its haunted chambers.
“We are getting a container here which will offer 150 beds for asylum seekers,” a local official told the media.
“By doing so, we will have fulfilled our quota.”
