King Charles was heaped with praise earlier this year by convicted incest monster Josef Fritzl, who wrote several letters about the monarch from his Austrian jail.
Fritzl, who was jailed for life in 2009 after he admitted to keeping his daughter captive for 24 years and raped her thousands of times, said that after watching the King’s Coronation last May he decided he is a “pleasant person”.
The depraved 88-year-old, who fathered seven children with his daughter, also jokingly described himself as a monarchist in the same letter.
Fritzl shared his thoughts on King Charles and others in a book written in conjunction with his lawyer, based on a series of letters from prison. It was published last year.
It comes as a court ruled that Fritzl can be transferred to a regular prison from a prison psychiatric unit. This paves the way for his release to a nursing home, after he applied for early release from jail on the grounds of old age and dementia.
The decision, however, stipulates that Fritzl will have to attend regular psychotherapy and undergo psychiatric evaluations during a 10-year probation period at the prison, Austria Press Agency reported.
A request to release him from detention was rejected but the decision is still a win for Fritzl’s legal team as conditions in a regular prison are considered an improvement, compared to strict controls in a psychiatric institution.
The Austrian’s atrocious crime was revealed in 2008 and he was sentenced in 2009 to life imprisonment for committing incest, rape, coercion, false imprisonment, enslavement and negligent homicide of one of his infant sons.
Fritzl became known as the “monster of Amstetten” after the northern Austrian town where he in 1984 locked up his then 18-year-old daughter in a sound-proofed basement of his house.
