It was also revealed that three children he fathered by his daughter Elisabeth evolved their own unique feral language, using animalistic grunting noises, as they grew up in their windowless dungeon.
Austrian police chief Leopold Etz said: “It is only half true that they can speak. They communicate with noises that are a mixture of growling and cooing. They had no books and the main source of education was a television.”
The children - Kerstin, 19, Stefan, 18, and Felix, five - had never been outside before they were rescued last week. When Felix first saw the moon he pointed and said: “Is that God up there?”
As they recovered at a clinic detectives investigating the murder of Martina Posch, 17, said she bore a striking resemblance to Elisabeth, who was imprisoned in 1984 when she was 18.
Miss Posch disappeared two years later and her body was found wrapped in plastic and dumped at Mondsee, a picturesque lake near Salzburg, close to where Fritzl, 73, and his wife Rosemarie, 68, owned a campsite and guesthouse.
Local police chief Alois Lissl said: “What really stands out is that Martina looks similar to Fritzl’s daughter. The likeness is incredible.”
Joseph Fritzl investigated over unsolved rape and murder Police said they would ask Fritzl to provide an alibi and search his home in the town of Amstetten for Miss Posch’s belongings which were never found.
Fritzl has confessed to fathering seven children by Elisabeth but his lawyer Rudolf Mayer said allegations of rape and enslavement were “not proved”.
He said Fritzl feared for his life in jail and would apply for bail. He is refusing to speak to police.
Mr Mayer said: “He is a shattered and ruined man, emotionally broken.”
Police described how when Felix first saw a cow he made excited gurgling sounds. When he saw the sun he made a squeaking sound and covered his eyes.
He was petrified when taken in an elevator and stunned when a police officer talked into a mobile phone.
Detectives said Elisabeth Fritzl had done everything humanly possible to make life normal for her children, teaching them limited writing skills and singing lullabies.
The children have weakened immune systems, vitamin D deficiency, are anaemic and have cramped posture. Kerstin is in a coma and most of her teeth had fallen out.
The family have been given a secure home within the grounds of a hospital where the children are free to move around. Some of the children’s toys have been brought from the cellar. According to doctors the children said the first dinner they were served “tasted wonderful”.
Fritzl had placed a generator in the cellar so his secret family had electricity. There was also a washing machine and a deep freezer.
He led a double life, spending hours in the cellar watching videos with the children while Elisabeth cooked dinner in an oven. The oven was used to incinerate one of the children that did not survive.
Fritzl also took several sex holidays to Thailand, once leaving them for nearly a month. He was filmed happily being given a back massage by a local woman on the beach at Pattaya.
In Thailand he bought carrier bags full of presents for the children in the dungeon and an evening dress and underwear for Elisabeth.
