London, Nov 27 (ANI): The "British Josef Fritzl," who admitted to repeatedly raping his two daughters and getting them pregnant 19 times, did the evil act to get child benefit payments, claims his sister-in-law.

The 56-year-old's relative said that he fathered nine children by the girls in order to support his lifestyle.

In order to boost his income through benefits and tax credits, the Briton once offered his younger daughter 500 pounds to have another child, the relative said.

"He would always have a roll of 20 pounds notes but everyone knew he had never worked a day in his life," the Telegraph quoted the sister-in-law, as saying. more
