Lawyers for Fritzl, 89, revealed they are confident he will be released having served just 15 years for his disturbing crimes and argued he no longer poses a danger to the public due to his condition.

The monster's lawyer, Astrid Wagner, told the Daily Mirror: "We will start an action in March and call for parole, and if the court rejects it, we will appeal, and given his condition, I believe he will be released by next year.

"He wants to live close to where he previously did, and he wants to live alone, but I think that is very unlikely given his age and condition. He would need a caregiver, and none of his friends or family want to know."

Wagner continued: "He believes that when he is released, he will come out to a big celebration with people cheering and music and wanting to shake his hand. This is obviously not the case. It is a fantasy. I don't think he fully understands what the world really thinks. Every time I see him, he says he regrets his decisions every day.

"He has ruined his life. He always talks about his regrets about his crimes. He thinks he has friends on the outside, but he hasn’t. One thing he accepts is that his family no longer want to see him and respects that."

In 2008, Fritzl's terrifying and disturbing crimes were brought to light after Elizabeth was allowed to take her oldest daughter to the hospital after she fell seriously ill.

It was then she used that moment to finally talk to the police and reveal details about the disturbing nightmare she has been living with her own father.

Fritzl began molesting his daughter when she was only 11 years old and raped her more than 3,000 times.

Over those horrifying years, he fathered seven children with her.
