Monster Josef Fritzl thrilled with luxury jail cell with en-suite shower and own minder

CELLAR monster Josef Fritzl is enjoying life in a luxury prison cell with an en-suite shower and his own minder.

Fritzl, 89, was jailed for life in 2009 after keeping his daughter locked up as his sex slave for 24 years.

Monster Josef Fritzl has been moved out of his maxiumum psychiatric unit to a “nice and spacious” jail cellEPA

The Austrian fiend, who fathered seven kids with her, was moved from a high-security psychiatric unit to a normal prison earlier this year.

Now his lawyer Dr Astrid Wagner has told The Sun on Sunday the beast is “thrilled” with a “nice and spacious” cell to himself with a shower.

And he has reportedly grown close to another inmate who is acting as his “bodyguard”.

Dr Wagner insisted even Fritzl “has the right to be treated well”.

Fritzl began molesting Elisabeth when she was 11, before imprisoning her in a filthy cellar in Amstetten near Vienna in 1984.

Three of the children he fathered lived with his daughter in windowless, soundproofed rooms behind a reinforced concrete door, three were raised upstairs in the house, and one died shortly after birth.

Fritzl is said to have burned the tragic baby’s body in an incinerator and scattered the ashes in the garden.

His crimes came to light in 2008 when the eldest of the children, Kerstin, became seriously ill and had to be taken to hospital.

The twisted monster was jailed the following year, aged 73, for rape, incest, enslavement, false imprisonment, and murder by negligence.
