Incest monster Josef Fritzl will STAY in prison after court overturns ruling that would see him freed to nursing home

EVIL Josef Fritzl will stay locked up in a high-security prison as the decision to move him to a nursing home has been overturned.

The incest monster, 88, raped his daughter and held her captive for 24 years, fathering seven children with her.

In January, Fritzl was pictured smirking as he dramatically won his bid to be moved to a regular prison.

The beast hoped it would pave the way to his release after 15 years behind bars.

He told a court in Austria that he deeply regretted locking his daughter in an underground cellar, and that he had dealt with the crimes “intensely”.

But today an Austrian court overturned the decision to move Fritzl – and sent the case back to the lower court for a new decision.
