London, May 12 : Locals at Amstetten have urged the Austrian authorities to demolish the “horror house” belonging to dungeon dad Josef Fritzl.

The residents are stressing that they don't want No. 40 Ybbsstrasse "to become a ghoulish shrine" to the incestuous sex fiend, reports Mirror.

They said that the Fritzl's house of horror should be demolished just like the homes of Fred and Rosemary West and other notorious mass murderers.

The residents have already had enough of the rubberneckers who keep staring at the large terrace property.

While the police continue their probe, townsfolk were demanding the tearing down of the Fritzl house.

The property stands on one of the main streets in Amstetten and has an underground cellar, where Fritzl held his daughter Elisabeth Fritzl captive for 24 years and fathered her children through repeatedly sexually assaulting her. (ANI)
