A paedophile allegedly ran his "house of horrors" like a "concentration camp" where he locked food away in the fridge while saving better conditions for his favourite daughter who he had incestuous relations with.

Piotr Gierasik, 54, and his eldest daughter, Paulina, 20, have been charged with murder and incest after three dead babies were found in holes dotted around the walls of their cellar Czerniki, northeast Poland. Investigators say that at least two of the children came from Piotr and Paulina's incestuous relationship. The third infant victim was fathered by Piotr from his abuse of his other daughter.

A third daughter has revealed further grim details of what it was like living in the nightmare home. She claimed that her sick dad locked the fridge, deciding when she and the others would eat. He would only give them cold grains and rice while he and Paulina ate better food.

Katarzyna said that her father had also assaulted her. Polish outlet o2 reported: "In the care centre they were given bread, which they grabbed by the handful. The situation of Kasia and Damian, Piotr's disabled son, was terrible."

Fr. Czesław Marchewicz, who runs the Burego Misia Settlement where the children went, said: "It was a concentration camp where girls, especially disabled and intellectually disabled people, were his earnings. They provided him with a living. That's why he did everything not to let Kasia and Damian leave the house. As far as I know, he didn't work himself."

Katarzyna herself said in an interview with a Uwaga: "I'm worried about my two sisters who slept with my father." She added that Paulina was treated better by Piotr than the other children. He bought her clothes, cosmetics, better food, she said. The Uwaga reporter asked what Katarzyna would say to her father today. "You monster, what did you do? The end. He's a monster, not a human," she said.

Heaping further misery on the case, earlier this week it was reported that the monster even abused the family's elderly dog Bethowen, who was seen barely able to walk last Friday after the raid. An animal charity is now looking after the hound and they believe he was deliberately starved and spent his entire life chained up.

Staff at the Animalsi shelter which looks after 230 dogs and more than 50 homeless cats posted pictures of Bethowen showing his upsetting condition on their Facebook page. The post said: "The whole of Poland is reeling from the drama that took place in one of the towns in the Stara Kiszewa commune. We are receiving more and more blood-curdling information from everywhere. We were there to secure the animals staying there - Bethowen and two cats are already here in the shelter. But we are shocked that the big St Bernard weighs only 28kg and has spent his entire life on a chain."
