An Austrian man is being investigated after locking up his two daughters for 41 years and sexually abusing them in a case with chilling parallels to that of fellow countryman Josef Fritzl.
The women, who are now 45 and 53 years old, and are both reported to be mentally ill, were kept trapped within the family home in the village of St Peter Am Hart, near the Bavarian border, and forbidden all contact with the outside world for the last four decades.
Police believe the sisters, who were kept in the kitchen and made to sleep on a bench, were repeatedly beaten and sexually abused by their father since 1970 and that their mother, who died three years ago had been aware of the abuse but too scared to report him.
Local media reported that the women had escaped from their father's custody after overpowering the 80 year-old during an attempted rape in May.
The elder daughter reportedly pushed her father to the floor during the attack when he banged his head and was unable to get up.
A social worker found him there two days later and he was transferred to a care home but it took some weeks for the allegations to come to light.
