I know that a lot of you are coming here for more information on the case of the Austrian man, Josef Fritzl, who kidnapped his own daughter and fathered seven children with her.
EuroNews is reporting that Fritzl is alledged to have threatened to kill his incestuous family with poison gas if they tried to escape.
France 24 reports that prosecutors are seeking a life sentence for Fritzl. Although incest and rape carries shorter sentences, they're trying to establish a manslaughter case against Fritzl for the death of the seventh child.
Radio Netherlands Worldwide is reporting that police are asking for information from Fritzl's neighbours in the town of Amstetten.
RTE News is reporting that police are looking into possible links between the incest case, and the case of a murdered teenager in 1986 that has remained unsolved.
SwissInfo is reporting that Firtzl pretended to be his own daughter, in a phone call to his own wife back in 1994.
CNN reports that a tenant in Josef Fritzl's house claims that Fritzl's son was often seen entering the secret basement, an area that Fritzl said was off-limits to his tenant and indeed to his own wife.
All in all, much more information is coming out and we'll try and keep track of it here, as it develops.
