Josef Fritzl’s incest kids refuse to testify against him

London, July 18 : Austrian incest fiend Josef Fritzl’s kids with his daughter have refused to testify against their dad.

Such a development could cause a setback of the case against him.

The 73-year-old Fritzl has confessed to imprisoning his daughter Elisabeth, 42, in a cellar dungeon beneath his home in the town of Amstetten for over 24 years, and fathering seven children with her.

One of the children died at birth in 1997 and Fritzl burned his body in an oven.

Elisabeth has completed testifying against her dad and reportedly reinstated her earlier statement given to police, in which she accused him of rape and abuse and for indirectly causing the death of her newborn.

Oldest student to be awarded PhD is 91yrs of age!

London, July 17 (ANI): A Second World War veteran has become the oldest student to be awarded a PhD by Cambridge University.

Michael Cobb, 91, was evacuated in the last boat out of Dunkirk.

He began ‘The Railways of Great Britain: A Historical Atlas’ in 1978, and spent 18 years writing the book after travelling every train line in the UK.

It took another seven years to get into print.

"I was 62 when I started and never thought of a PhD,” the Mirror quoted him as saying.

Examiner Dr. Richard Smith said: "The atlas is a remarkable piece of scholarship. It charts the dates of every line and station."
