| People hold banners during a demonstration of solidarity with victims of violence in Amstetten where Josef Fritzl imprisoned his daughter for 24 years May 7, 2008. Austria's justice minister said local authorities were gullible in their dealings with Fritzl, who lured his daughter Elisabeth into a basement in 1984, drugging her and locking her up before abusing her for almost a quarter of a century and fathering her seven children. Fritzl claimed his missing daughter had left home to join a sect. The comments from Justice Minister Maria Berger were the first time the government has acknowledged official shortcomings in the handling of the case. The words "Wir sind Amstetten" mean "We are Amstetten", "Zukunft" means "future" and "Warum" means "Why". [Agencies] |
