Man Fathered Seven Children Via His Own Daughter at They Might Be Curly Giants!

Remember this face. Remember it well. This is the face of an animal who not only kept his daughter imprisoned in a cellar for 24 years, he also raped and fathered seven children from her.

During the 24 years that Josef F kept his daughter Elisabeth locked up in a windowless cellar underneath the house where he lived an outwardly blameless life with his wife Rosemarie, the 73-year-old is said to have fathered and then acted as midwife at the birth of children now 19, 18, 16, 14, 11, and 5, Austrian police have revealed.

A seventh child - a twin boy - was said by police to have died three days after his birth and his body to have been burned in the large, well-kept gardens of the grey, concrete villa in Ybbs Street in the eastern town of Amstettin.

Mr F, who was arrested on Saturday night at the hospital where Kerstin has been lying in a coma for over a week, was this morning said to have begun to speak to police for the first time. Until last night he had told them little more than the code to the hidden electronic trapdoor to the windowless cellars where the secret family was kept imprisoned
