U-Elisabeth Fritzl uchithe iminyaka engama-24 eluvalelweni, evalelwe kwigumbi elingaphantsi komhlaba kwaye esoloko engcungcuthekiswa nguyise uJosef Fritzl. Wadlwengulwa ngokuphindaphindiweyo, waza wazala abantwana bakhe abasixhenxe. Emva kokuba ezele, uyise wayebanyusa abantwana bakhe kwigumbi eliphezulu ukuze bahlale naye nomfazi wakhe.
UJosef Fritzl: 'Irhamncwa lase-Amstetten'
Kwenzeka njani ukuba iminyaka engamashumi amabini anesine akukho mntu waphawula oko kwenzekayo phantsi kweziseko zendlu kaJosef Fritzl kwidolophu encinci yaseAustria. Amstetten? Kwanomfazi wakhe, uRosemarie, akazange arhanele ukuba umyeni wakhe onomtsalane ugcina imfihlelo: wayeqweqwedise eyakhe intombi, awayixhaphaza ngokwesini waza waba nabantwana abasixhenxe. Njengoko ikamva laliza kuba njalo, enye yeentombi - eneneni umzukulwana-we-pedophile, uKerstin, oneminyaka eli-19, kwafuneka aye esibhedlele ephethwe sisifo esinqabileyo.
Ebudeni bokuxilongwa, iingcali zafumana inqaku kwenye yeepokotho zakhe apho wayebalisa ibali lakhe waza wacela uncedo. Oogqirha, bedidekile, bacela ukuthetha nomama wakhe, uElizabeth. Emva koko kwaqhuma ubuxoki kwaye inyaniso yavela. Omnye wabamelwane bakhe “wayesisilo” sokwenene.
Xa amajelo eendaba aphuma kwisiqingatha sehlabathi evakalisa ezi ndaba, kwabakho ukothuka kwezimvo zoluntu. Luhlobo olunjani “lwerhamncwa” elikwaziyo ukwenza into enjalo?
Elo gama lesiteketiso lahamba kuwo onke amaphephandaba ngethemba lokwazi yonke inyaniso yetyala, namhlanje, eliqhubeka linezithunzi zalo. "Uyise wobumnyama", njengephephandaba laseFransi Le Figaro wambiza, wayesandula ukungena kuluhlu lwe uninzi lwezaphuli-mthetho ezinezothe kwimbali. Ukwazi ingxelo ayenzileyo kwigqwetha lakhe kuseyothusa:
"Umnqweno wokuba neentlobano zesini no-Elisabeth waya usomelela kwaye usomelela."
Wayesazi ukuba uElizabhete wayengafuni ukuba enze loo nto kuye. Wayesazi ukuba uyamkhathaza. Kodwa ekugqibeleni, umnqweno wokukwazi ukungcamla isiqhamo esalelweyo wawunamandla kakhulu. Yayingathi ndikhobokile.
Ubudlelwane obuyityhefu bukaFritzl noMama wakhe
I-Amstetten (eOstriya) yayisisixeko apho uJosef Fritzl wazalelwa khona, wakhulela kwaye wazibophelela ngeyona ndlela imbi. Ukususela ngoAprili 9, 1935, le dolophu incinane iye yabona indlela ubuntwana bayo obuguquke ngayo kwisihogo. Ngokobungqina bakhe, uFritzl - owalahlwa nguyise xa wayeneminyaka emine ubudala - wafumana zonke iintlobo zempatho embi kunye nokuxhatshazwa ngokwasemzimbeni ngunina, awathi ekwaluphaleni kwakhe wamvalela njengempindezelo. Oko kufel’ ukholo kobuntwana, okwabangelwa ngokuyinxenye ngokuba kuphela kwenzala yentsapho, kwakhokelela ekubeni bobabini bakhe ulwalamano oluluqhwithela lothando nentiyo.
Ndiyabulela kwezinye zeengxelo zengqondo ezilungiselelwe ityala, sifunde ukuba uFritzl wayesoyika unina ngaphezu kwayo nantoni na ehlabathini. Izithuko eziqhubekayo awamnika zona - "uSathana, ongenamsebenzi kunye nolwaphulo-mthetho" - kunye nezithintelo ezingenangqondo awambeka phantsi kwazo - wayengenakukwazi ukuziqhelanisa nemidlalo okanye ukuba nabahlobo, umzekelo - kwakhokelela ekubeni uJosef osemncinci akhulise ubuntu obubandayo kunye nobundlobongela phantsi komkhosi. ukuzola kunye nembonakalo eqokelelweyo. Enyanisweni, waya esikolweni kwaye wayengumfundi olungileyo.
Wafunda ubuchwephesha kunye netekhnoloji ye-elektroniki, esona siseko sokuguqula igumbi elingaphantsi kwendlu yakhe libe ngumhadi apho wayeya kuvalela intombi yakhe uElizabeth ngasese kwiminyaka kamva. Kwakhona wasebenza njengosombane, ongumalathisi wenkampani eyenza ikhonkile, nanjengommeli womzi-mveliso wokwakha umbhobho wekonkile waseDenmark. Wahlala eLuxembourg naseGhana, waza watshata noRosemarie, awaba nabantwana abasixhenxe, kuquka uElisabeth. Wathatha umhlala-phantsi xa wayeneminyaka engamashumi amathandathu ubudala.
Kodwa ngaphambi kokuxhwilwa kunye nokuxhatshazwa ngokwesondo kwentombi yakhe u-Elisabeth ngaphezulu kweminyaka engamashumi amabini, uFritzl wayezilolonge nonina. Ebudeni beencoko ezinde nogqirha wakhe wengqondo, uAdelheid Kastner, lo waseOstriya wavuma ukuba wayeyibuyisele ngokupheleleyo impatho-mbi awayeyifumene kunina. Wasuka ekubeni lixhoba waba ngumbulali, emngcungcuthekisa de wafa ngowe-1980.
The modus operandi kwakunjalo nakuElizabhete kodwa kumgangatho ongaphezulu wendlu. Apho wamtshixela, wakha iifestile, waza waba ngumgcini wentolongo. Amanye amajelo ase-Austrian athi le meko yahlala iminyaka engaphezu kwamashumi amabini, kodwa yithiyori kuphela esekelwe kubungqina obungahambelaniyo ngamanye amaxesha bomtyholwa. Ngeli xesha, uFritzl wakhumbula kuphela ukuba njengomntwana umama wakhe wambetha kwaye wamkhaba - “Ndade ndawa phantsi ndopha.” Wayeluthathile umvandedwa wakhe ngokugqithisileyo.
Noko ke, le ndlela yokuziphatha ngokwesini nobundlobongela yabonakala ekupheleni kweminyaka yee-1960, xa wayetyholwa ngokudlwengula ibhinqa. Umntu wesini esahlukileyo wayengoyena usulungekileyo ukuze axhathise konke ukuthotywa unina. Wakhe wathi kugqirha wakhe wengqondo ngenye yeeseshoni:
“Ndazalelwa ukudlwengulwa, nangona kunjalo, ndisazibambile ixesha elide.”
Iminyaka engamashumi amabini ehlala phantsi komhlaba
Ngo-Aprili 2008, uKerstin oneminyaka elishumi elinesithoba ubudala wangeniswa esibhedlele ngenxa yezifo ezinzulu ezibangelwa sisifo esingaqhelekanga. Ukhatshwa nguyisemkhulu, uJosef Fritzl. Uhleli engekho zingqondweni ngenxa yobuzaza bemeko yakhe. Ngethuba loviwo, oogqirha bafumana inqaku lokubandezeleka kwelinye leepokotho zempahla yentombazana.
Bayaqhubeka nokukhangela imbali yakhe yezonyango ngaphandle kwempumelelo. Bagqiba kwelokuba babuze iqabane lakhe, elingumxhwili wakhe kanye. Banyanzelisa ukumbona umama kwaye, xa uFritzl esala, babiza amapolisa. Abasemagunyeni bavela kwikhaya le-pedophile kwaye, ngoncedo lwakhe, behla baye kwigumbi elingaphantsi elivalwe ngokugqibeleleyo kunye namanyathelo amakhulu okhuseleko. Apho badibana no-Elizabeth, onamashumi amane anesibini eminyaka ubudala.
Kwiingxelo zakhe zokuqala, ibhinqa eliselula lichaza ukuba livalelwe phantsi komhlaba ukususela ngo-Agasti ka-1984 kwaye uyise wayemxhaphaza ukususela kwiminyaka elishumi elinanye. Iminyaka esibhozo yodlwengulo yanceda uFritzl wagqiba kwelokuba amlalise, ambophe aze amvalele kumngxunya awayewakhe phantsi kweziseko zendlu yakhe. Konke oku ngaphandle kolwazi lomfazi wakhe uRosemarie!
Ukususela ngo-1977, ukubethwa nokudlwengulwa kwakuyinto eqhelekileyo ka-Elisabeth, de le nkqubo yatshintsha ngokuvalelwa kwakhe. Kwiintsuku ezimbini zokuqala wamgcina ekhonkxiwe yaye kangangeenyanga ezisithoba ezalandelayo, wambopha ukuze angaphumi. Engonelisekanga koku, wamvalela kwigumbi elinye iminyaka elithoba – emva koko wakha amagumbi angaphezulu kumgangatho ongaphantsi – nalapho wamdlwengula.
Ukususela kwiintlobano zesini izihlandlo ezininzi, uElizabeth wazala abantwana abasixhenxe ababengamangqina kolo tshintsho. Abathathu kubo, uKerstin, oneminyaka eli-19 ubudala, uStephen, oneminyaka eli-18, noFelix, oneminyaka emi-5 ubudala, bahlala nonina ngokufihlakeleyo; abanye abathathu, uLisa, 15, Monika, 14, noAlexander, 13, babehlala noJosef nomfazi wakhe endlwini; owesixhenxe wafa ngosuku lwesithathu ephila waza watshiswa.
Eyona nto imangalisayo ngeli tyala kukuba abathathu kwaba bantwana baye baphila ubomi obuqhelekileyo noyise (uyisemkhulu) nokuba uRosemarie akazange arhanele nto! Impendulo ifumaneka kuguqulelo olunikwe nguFritzl. Kumapolisa kunye nomqweqwedisi, uElizabeth wayebaleke ngokwakhe. Yayisele ikwisihlandlo sesibini eyizama yaye ngoku iphumelele. Ngenxa yoko umama wakhe akazange aqhubeke ejonga.
Iileta ekwakufuneka intombazana izibhalele uRosemarie enyanzelwe nguFritzl nazo zanceda. Yayiyindlela yokumgcina angakrokreli. Okokuqala, wachaza isizathu sokusaba kwakhe; yaye ngokulandelayo, uRosemarie wamcela ukuba ahoye abantwana bakhe, awayengakwazi ukondla.
Nangona kunjalo, i-pedophile yase-Austrian ayizange ishiye umphetho okhululekileyo kuyo yonke le mbali. Ezi leta zazibonisa ukuba intombi yakhe yayisaphila yaye yayingafuni ukuba nolwalamano nentsapho. Ukongeza, uFritzl waphosa iinkuni ezingakumbi emlilweni eqinisekisa ukuba yayilityala lehlelo elalimthimbile kwaye lalimnyanzela ukuba alahle iintsana zakhe.
Xa amapolisa ephanda eli bali, acinga ukuba uFritzl unomntu omnye okanye ngaphezulu. Noko ke, le ngcamango yawa phantsi njengoko ubungqina babuqulunqwa. Umkhwenyana wayenandipha isikhundla esihle sezoqoqosho, esamvumela ukuba abe neepropati ezininzi egameni lakhe kunye nenkululeko epheleleyo yokuhamba. Kwakhona wayelilungu elihloniphekileyo loluntu, ngoko ke akukho mntu wayenokucinga ngenkohlakalo eyenziwa yi "monster" kwiimitha ezimbalwa ukusuka kumakhaya abo.
Umhadi Wezothuso
Xa ibhombu yaqhumayo, impembelelo yentlalo yayininzi kakhulu. Media ezifana Österreich wavula amaphepha angaphambili kwiphephandaba labo kunye nezihloko ezifana “Yonke i-Amstetten kufuneka ibe neentloni. Abamelwane bawavala amehlo.” Ngapha koko, le dolophu yaseOstriya inabemi abangamashumi amabini anesibini amawaka anamakhulu amathandathu kuphela. Nangona kunjalo, isimilo esihle sikaFritzl sikwazile ukulahlekisa ummelwane wakhe, ngelixa wakha umhadi onemilinganiselo yokhuseleko olukhulu.
Indawo yayiziimitha ezisisikweri ezingama-80, inobude obuninzi obuziisentimitha ezingama-170, kwaye yayigubungela igadi yonke. Ukuze afikelele kuyo, wabeka ucango oluziikhilogram ezingama-300 lwekonkile yokutyibilika olufihlwe emva kwekhabhathi yeencwadi. Yayigqithiswa ngekhowudi eyaziwa nguFritzl kuphela. Indawo ebiyelweyo ibibandakanya indawo yokungena, amagumbi amabini okulala ezi-3 square metres, ikhitshi elincinci, igumbi lokuhlambela kunye negumbi lokuhlamba impahla. Ekuphela komthombo wokungenisa umoya wawuphuma kumbhobho.
Kamva Ubomi beFritzls
UJosef Fritzl wayeneminyaka engamashumi asixhenxe anesithathu ubudala xa wabanjwa ngabasemagunyeni baseAustria ngo-2008. Nangona ekuqaleni engazange avume ukunikela ubungqina, kamva wavuma iinyani ezathi zangqinwa kamva. Kwada kwayimini yokuxoxwa kwetyala lakhe, ngoMatshi 16, 2009, umntu olala nabantwana wayephantsi kovavanyo olwahlukeneyo ngokwasengqondweni nangokwengqondo. Kwaboniswa ukuba akazange ahlupheke kuyo nayiphi na ingxaki yengqondo kwaye "kwakungenakwenzeka" ngokupheleleyo ukuba wayehlala ephantsi kwempembelelo yotywala, njengoko umkhuseli wazama ukuphikisana.
Ukuhluthwa inkululeko, umbulo, ukudlwengulwa, ubukhoboka kunye nokubulala yayizezinye zezityholo u-Austrian kwafuneka ajamelane nazo ngexesha lokuchotshelwa kwakhe enkundleni. Ekugqibeleni, ijaji edumileyo yagqiba kwelokuba uFritzl unetyala lolwaphulo-mthetho olukhankanywe ngasentla kwaye yamgweba ubomi bakhe bonke entolongweni kunye nokuvalelwa ngokwasengqondweni. Iintsuku ezine zazanele ukuvala oko abaninzi bakubiza ngokuba “sisilingo senkulungwane.”
Ukusukela ngoko, uye wachitha iintsuku zakhe evalelwe kwigumbi labagula ngengqondo kwintolongo yokhuseleko oluphezulu elunxwemeni lwaseVienna, apho aqhayisa khona ngokuba “udume kwihlabathi liphela”. Akaziva nakancinci ukuzisola ngento ayenzileyo kwaye uzinikele ekubhaleleni iileta zothando emfazini wakhe angazange aziphendule. Ngokwahlukileyo koko, uRosemarie wagqiba kwelokuba aqhawule umtshato iintsuku emva kokuba evalelwe ukuze aqalise ubomi obutsha.
Ngeli xesha, u-Elisabeth (iminyaka engama-55 ubudala) kunye nabantwana bakowabo abathandathu (ngoku abaphakathi kwe-16 kunye ne-30 yeminyaka ubudala) baye batshintsha ifani yabo kwaye bahlala kude ne-Amstetten phantsi kwamanyathelo okhuseleko oluluqilima. Basephantsi konyango lwengqondo bezama ukuziqhelanisa noluntu. Mva nje kodwa ngethamsanqa, oko “kufel’ ukholo kungenakucingelwa” kwafikelela esiphelweni.
