The name Josef Fritzl is synonymous with all that is wrong in the world, the Austrian man gaining worldwide notoriety after details of his sexual enslavement shocked us all.
Now say hello to a man dubbed ‘the Swedish Fritzl’, a 38-year-old doctor who kept a woman as a sex slave in a home-made bunker. He had obviously planned the enslavement out in meticulous detail, a set of masks used to disguise both him and his victim and a bunker that took five years to build.
Here’s the Daily Mail with the gruesome details:
The pair was meeting up for a second date in the woman’s flat in central Stockholm on September 12, but instead the 38-year-old drugged, raped and kidnapped her, Swedish media reports.
The doctor is accused of giving the woman chocolate-dipped strawberries, marking which of the berries he had laced with Rohypnol by drawing on the stem leaves.
He then raped the woman while she was passed out in her home, before transporting her in a wheelchair to his car…
He drove from Stockholm to his home, a large property outside Kristianstad, some 345 miles south of Stockholm, during which time he also injected her with a soporific to keep her sedated.
Prosecutors say he had brought two rubber masks of an old woman and a man with a beard to use as disguises during the car journey, which police later found in his bedroom.
Upon arrival at the property he locked the woman in the prison-like bunker where he repeatedly raped her during six days in captivity.
The man is believed to have built the 60 square meter bunker himself, with the purpose of keeping at least one person captive over a long period of time, starting five years ago.
The concrete-enforced walls are 12.5 inches thick and the bunker has a bedroom, functioning toilet and a fully fitted kitchen, Swedish police reports.
The bunker even has a small, covered courtyard, where the person living in the bunker would be able to go outside without being seen by neighbours.
He also withdrew blood and took vaginal samples from the woman which he tested at a lab in his place of work, later confessing that he did this to ensure she did not have any STDs.
So how exactly did this truly awful human come to be caught? Well he walked her into a police station…
After a few days the doctor drove back to the woman’s home in Stockholm to bring her some personal possessions, only to discover that she had been reported missing and police had broken into her flat.
The doctor is believed to have panicked, and brought the woman to Stockholm where they visited a police station together on September 18.
Prosecutors say the 38-year-old forced the woman to tell police a fake story that she was safe and well, in order to call off the search, but officers grew suspicious and took her to one side.
The woman then told police the full story of her horrific ordeal, after which the man was arrested.
One can only hope they lock this ‘man’ up for a very long time, and it seems they have all the evidence they need to do just that.
