VIENNA, Austria —  A lawyer says Josef Fritzl's daughter and her children have left the psychiatric clinic where they were recovering from their incest ordeal.

Christoph Herbst says the woman and six of the seven children he fathered with her while holding her captive for 24 years have moved into their own home at an undisclosed location.

Herbst announced the family's move in an interview Monday with the Austria Press Agency. He could not immediately be reached for more details.

Prosecutors in November charged 73-year-old Fritzl with murder for refusing to arrange medical treatment for the seventh child, who died in infancy. He also faces charges of rape, incest, false imprisonment and enslavement and is expected to go on trial in March.

The crime came to light in April.
