Fritzl "passive" as he changed plea

Josef Fritzl, the Austrian who locked up his daughter for 24 years, was "passive" with a "mask-like" face as he changed his pleas to guilty on all charges.

Fritzl said video testimony from his daughter made him change his mind, and he has now admitted rape, incest, murder and enslavement.

The BBC's Bethany Bell was in court.
