The Austrian father who allegedly imprisoned and abused his daughter for 24 years has been charged with murdering one of their seven children.

Austrian prosecutors say the charges against Joseph Fritzl carry a prison sentence of 10 years to life.

Mr Fritzl is also charged with slavery and rape. If found guilty, he faces 20 years in jail on those charges.

He has been in custody since the case came to light in April and a trial is expected to begin early next year.

The Coast Guard continued to search this morning 115 miles off Cape Cod for the captain of a New Bedford fishing vessel that suddenly capsized overnight.

Three other crew members on board the 71-foot Costa & Corvo boat were plucked from the ocean by their fellow fishermen in their sister craft, the Mary K, the Coast Guard said.
