JOSEF Fritzl is likely to spend the rest of his life locked up in a psychiatric unit - but the full extent of his crimes may be yet to surface.
The depraved father, convicted yesterday after imprisoning his daughter, Elisabeth, for 24 years, is being investigated over at least four unsolved murders and disappearances.
A jury took only hours to find the 73-year-old guilty of rape, incest, deprivation of liberty, enslavement and murder by neglect over the death of his new-born son Michael in 1996.
Impassive, he accepted the verdict and said he would not be launching an appeal, bringing a swift end to a case that has shocked the world.
His life sentence means he cannot be freed for at least 15 years. He would then have to prove he no longer posed a danger to the public before being released.
Even as he was led away to serve his sentence, police were re-examining missing person and unsolved murder cases over the past four decades.
