Alfred Dubanovsky

lived at the Fritzl place for 12 years, noticed Josef Fritzl was hauling food in a wheelbarrow, heard strange noises at night, and abided Fritzl's edict about not going anywhere near the cellar, yet Dubanovsky didn't do anything about it.

He says he will regret doing nothing for the rest of his life:

"He used to take food and shopping down there in a wheelbarrow - always at night. At other times I remember I could sometimes hear a knocking from the cellar that I couldn't explain.

"I never in my wildest dreams thought he was behind anything like this. He spent every day in his cellar but I thought his behaviour was pretty normal."

He added: "He would fly into a panic at the merest mention of the police or the law. When I moved out there was a dispute over who should pay for repairs to a door.

"I threatened to sue. He went pale and caved in immediately."

It also emerged today that Fritzl, 73, first applied for planning permission for a cellar in 1978, saying it was to protect his family in case of nuclear attack.




The kicker is the government not only allowed him to build a cellar, it allowed him to put rooms in it in 1983. In other words, the authorities granted him permission to build a den to rape and torture his daughter.

Unbelievable.
