Sexual offender monster Josef Fritzl will be placed under legal guardianship as a result of his dementia - but his legal team are battling against the decision.
Public officials in Krems, a town West of Austrian capital Vienna, confirmed Fritzl will be placed under guardianship due to his declining mental state.
This means the court will appoint someone to make decisions on Fritzl’s behalf after he has been deemed unable to make them on his own.
Fritzl, 89, infamously fathered seven children with his daughter Elisabeth over 24 years, while entrapping her as a sex slave for 24 years in the basement of their Austria family home.
Since he was sentenced to life imprisonment in 2009 he has been held in high-security psychiatric detention at Stein prison.
