Austrian court halts Josef Fritzl transfer from psychiatric unit to regular prison; new evidence needed.

Austrian court overturns decision to transfer Josef Fritzl, a man who imprisoned his daughter for 24 years, to a regular prison.

The court requested the lower court to establish more evidence before reaching a fresh decision, and a new hearing is scheduled for the end of April.
