DNA 'backs Austrian incest claim'

Questions have been asked as to how Mr Fritzl could keep the cellar a secret
DNA evidence supports an Austrian man's confession that he fathered six children by his daughter while keeping her prisoner for 24 years, police say.
Lower Austria police chief Franz Polzer said Josef Fritzl, 73, had completely deceived his wife, his family and the authorities in the town of Amstetten.
Hospital officials meanwhile said Mr Fritzl's daughter and her children had experienced an "astonishing" reunion.
They met at the clinic where they are receiving psychiatric treatment.
Earlier, Mr Fritzl was detained for a further 14 days by a regional court in the provincial capital of St Poelton. On the advice of his lawyer, he did not speak to the examining magistrate.
His lawyer told the BBC that although Mr Fritzl showed no signs of remorse, he looked very sad and "emotionally broken".
