'My missing wife could be held captive by a fiend like Fritzl...I

Murder accused husband's claim

- 

A MAN accused of murdering his missing wife on a cruise ship says she could be being held captive by a Josef Fritzl-type monster.

German national Daniel Belling, 49, who is living in Coolock, Dublin, is on trial in absentia in Italy accused of murdering his missing wife Xing-Li, 38, while they were on a Mediterranean cruise in February 2017.

This week marks the sixth anniversary of Xing-Li’s disappearance from the MSC Magnifica. But now her husband says that even if she does turn up alive, he doesn't want to live with her.
