Fritzl changes plea to 'guilty'

Josef Fritzl has changed his plea to guilty to all the charges against him, admitting incest, false imprisonment, enslavement and murder.

At the start of the third day of his trial, the 73-year-old told the judge he wished to plead guilty to murder and enslavement, charges he had previously denied.

He said it was the testimony of his daughter, which made him change his plea.

Richard Bilton reports.
