Elizabeth is angry that her mother never stood up to Fritzl

Miss Fritzl, 42, who spent most of her adult life locked in a cellar, and her mother Rosemarie, 69, have been living with the six children she was forced to have by her father Josef.

But she is said to be devastated that three of the kids raised above ground by her mother still call her "Mum".

She is also angry that her mother never stood up to Fritzl, who began raping his daughter when she was 11 and is not convinced her mother knew nothing of the abuse she suffered before vanishing.

The Austrian newspapers claim she has now told her mother to "stay away" from their villa in the grounds of a psychiatric clinic. Mrs Fritzl was said to be "shattered" by her daughter's actions.

Miss Fritzl was drugged and locked in a cellar under the family home by her father when she was 18. He raped her over the next 24 years, making her have seven children.

The eldest three – Lisa, now 16, Monica, 14, and Alexander, 11 – were taken out of the dungeon by Fritzl to live in the house in Amstetten and brought up by his wife

He told her that their daughter had run off to join a cult, but had returned to dump the kids, then fled again.

Three other children were kept in the dungeon and another died soon after birth and Fritzl burned the body in the boiler.

He is now in prison awaiting trial in the autumn and facing life behind bars.

Miss Fritzl's lawyer last night confirmed that her mother had left the clinic.

Christoph Herbst said she was now living with one of her other children.
