Fritzl pleads guilty to murder

March 18, 2009

Austrian man Josef Fritzl pleads guilty to all charges in the cellar imprisonment case. Fritzl had earlier admitted incest but denied murder and enslavement; he had also registered a 'partial' guilty plea to rape. He is said to have changed his pleas after watching a videotaped testimony of his daughter Elisabeth. The Austrian man fathered seven children with his daughter who had been locked in a cellar under his home for 24 years.
