But I got used to it. The idea, which had previously seemed so absurd, so monstrous to me, took shape.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;One day I knew what I had to do. All that remained was to wait for the right opportunity. On that rainy Saturday morning the time had come. The thought had become action.&#8217;\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>In the book Fritzl &#8211; who has changed his name to Mayrhoff &#8211; outlines potential plans to move back to Amstetten and &#8216;perhaps set up a small business there&#8217;.<\/p>\n<p>It comes after he recently submitted an application to be transferred to a normal prison. Austrian courts have rejected previous attempts to be moved to a lower-security prison.<\/p>\n<p>Long before he put that ether-soaked cloth over his daughter&#8217;s nose and mouth, Fritzl had a record of sexual crime. In 1967, the year after Elisabeth was born, he broke into the home of a 24-year-old nurse in Linz and raped her, holding a knife to her throat.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailymail.co.uk\/news\/article-11988353\/Horror-home-Austrian-rapist-Josef-Fritzl-split-flats-rented-young-people.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read Full Article<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Horror home of Austrian rapist Josef Fritzl<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":174205,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[23056],"tags":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.7 -
