The Austrian man accused of imprisoning his daughter and fathering her seven children is to be sentenced today.



Yesterday, 73 year old Josef Fritzl, changed his plea from not guilty to guilty after watching a video testimony from his daughter during day 2 of his trial.



The charges include rape, incest, murder by neglect and enslavement.



Fritzl had earlier pleaded guilty to the rape and incest charges but not murder.



He faces life imprisonment for murder, 20 years for enslavement and up to 15 years on the other charges.
