Josef Fritzl, the notorious rapist who locked his daughter in a cellar for decades and fathered seven children with her, has said he believes his family will forgive him.
The 87-year-old was jailed for life in 2009 after he was found to have imprisoned and raped his daughter in a purpose-built basement under their family home in Austria for 24 years, over which period she gave birth to seven of his children.
