A 73-year-old Austrian is under arrest on suspicion of hiding his daughter in a cellar for 24 years and fathering seven children with her, police say.
The existence of the woman, believed missing since 1984 and now 42, emerged after a teenager said to be her daughter was taken to hospital.
The police issued a statement giving details of the alleged abuses Elisabeth recounted to them. She said she had been sexually abused by her father since the age of 11. Josef allegedly lured her into the cellar of their house in Amstetten on 28 August 1984, drugging and handcuffing her before locking her up.
It was assumed she had disappeared voluntarily when her parents received a letter from her asking them not to search for her.
"Abused continuously during the 24-year-long imprisonment", Elisabeth bore six children while a seventh, one of a set of twins, died soon after birth.
The dead baby was allegedly taken out of the cellar and burnt by Josef.

How can someone do this to their own daughter? His children were his grandchildren? This is the worsth thing I think that could be imaginably done possible!! She had her fathers children! What punishment would be great enough for this man? Nothing!
