Incest family hold 'astonishing' reunion
who:Josef Fritzl @ 73
what:Family members at the center of a bizarre incest and imprisonment case spanning 24 years have held an "astonishing" reunion, medical officials say.Investigators say 73-year-old Josef Fritzl held his daughter, Elisabeth, captive in a cellar for 24 years. He raped her repeatedly, they say, and eventually fathered seven of her children.
where:AMSTETTEN, Austria
when: for the past 24 years
how it happened:Elisabeth and two of her children were reunited Sunday with three of her other children and her mother, Kepplinger said Tuesday. The three children and her mother lived in the home above the cellar.
Elisabeth's eldest child, 19-year-old Kerstin Fritzl, remains in hospital.
A seventh child died years ago, shortly after birth. Fritzl told police he burned the infant's body in a furnace.
The story of the family's imprisonment began to unravel a week ago, when Kerstin fell seriously ill with convulsions and was hospitalized.
Austrian police Wednesday denied reports that they were investigating possible links between Fritzl and the unsolved murder of a woman.
Franz Polzer, director of the Lower Austrian Bureau of Criminal Affairs, said Fritzl had owned an Austrian hotel near where a woman was found murdered decades ago. However, they were not investigating the incident at this stage.

Club Mansion bouncers accused of beating patrons

what:Miami Beach police have charged at least eight Club Mansion bouncers with beating three spring breakers over a disputed bar tab.
where:SOUTH BEACH Club Mansion
when:friday april 4,08
how it happened:At South Beach's Club Mansion, $700 will get you a bottle of liquor and a spot at a VIP table for a few hours.
It does not, however, buy your safety.
Or so it seems four days after as many as 11 bouncers inside the posh nightclub at 1235 Washington Ave., Miami Beach, bludgeoned three University of Delaware seniors over a disputed bill, according to Miami Beach police.After about two hours, a waitress told the three men they had to give up their table for other patrons. Then they were told their tab for the vodka was $700.
Surprised by the amount, the students asked twice to see a bill. Twice they were refused.
At this point, they were ushered into a back room, which was packed with bouncers. When the young men again refused to pay without seeing a tab, employees of the club turned physical.
''They started pounding on the boys,'' Dennis said.
