Fritzl's face is caught on camera

.
The face of Josef Fritzl, the Austrian charged with crimes against children he kept and abused in a cellar, has been caught on camera at his trial.

The accused, whose lawyer said he had been "ashamed" to show his face, had been covering himself with a folder since the trial began on Monday.

A verdict for Mr Fritzl, who has access to a psychiatrist as an anti-suicide precaution, is due on Thursday.

Jurors have been watching hours of videotaped testimony from his children.

Mr Fritzl has pleaded guilty to incest and "partially" guilty to rape but not guilty to enslavement or murder at the trial in the town of St Poelten.

He is said to be watching the recordings "attentively" at the trial, which is closed to the press and public until Wednesday in order to protect the identity of victims.

The court also heard expert testimony on infant care on Tuesday.

One of the charges against Mr Fritzl is that he murdered his own newborn baby boy by failing to provide him with proper medical care
