Fritzl family sent underground

16/07/2008 9:36:00 PM.  | 
The children of Josef Fritzl have been moved to a secret location in Austria to continue their recovery after being freed from an underground dungeon.

British newspapers reported that Elisabeth Fritzl, who had seven children to her father after enduring years of sexual abuse, and her family had left the Amstetten psychiatric clinic where they had been staying since being freed in April.

The Sun newspaper said doctors at the clinic had decided to move the family because it would have been an inappropriate place to rehabilitate Elisabeth's younger children over the long term.

"They're not here any more," an unnamed source told the newspaper.

"They and the security guards have moved on."

The Daily Mirror also reported the family would need the same security measures at their new home as they had at the clinic, where they were protected from the media.

"It was not an easy solution," a source said.

"However, I think we have now solved it."

Meanwhile, investigators are continuing to question Elisabeth, 42, about the 24 years she was imprisoned in the underground cellar by her father.

Fritzl kept Elisabeth, her eldest daughter Kerstin, 19, and sons Stefan, 18, and Felix, 5, locked up while their three other siblings - Lisa, 16, Monika, 14 and Alexander, 12 - lived upstairs with him and his wife.

Another son fathered by Fritzl died soon after being born in the cellar.

The survivors were only freed after Kerstin collapsed on April 19 and was rushed to hospital after Elisabeth pleaded with her father to let her daughter see a doctor.
