By Associated Press
Thursday, November 13, 2008 -

VIENNA, Austria - Prosecutors filed a murder charge today against the man accused of imprisoning his daughter for 24 years and fathering her seven children, saying one of the youngsters who died in infancy might have survived if brought to a doctor.

Josef Fritzl "deliberately decided not to intervene" and save the infant’s life, said the indictment, which also charges the 73-year-old retired electrician with rape, incest, false imprisonment and enslavement.
