New twist in dungeon abuse case

Josef Fritzl's holiday snaps provide an extraordinary twist to the story of the Austrian who locked up his daughter for 24 years, fathering her seven children.

Many papers publish pictures of Mr Fritzl relaxing on beaches in Cyprus and Thailand while half his family were held captive in his cellar at home.

It is the Sun's main story, with the headline, Beast beside the seaside.

The Daily Mirror says his imprisoned family had to survive alone for up to three weeks while he sunned himself.

'Faintest of hopes'

As the papers mark a year since Madeleine McCann's disappearance, Allison Pearson in the Mail calls for an end to the "publicity juggernaut".

She argues even those who have never doubted Kate and Gerry McCann's innocence, must feel a "flinch of unease" at the media offensive.

The Sun's Jane Moore asks how can they give up while there is still the faintest hope she could still be alive.

She says when it's not your child, it's easy to say the couple should keep quiet.

Oil prices soaring

The soaring cost of fuel is a pressing concern for many papers, making the lead in the Independent and the Express and is a topic for many leader columns.

The Telegraph finds it extraordinary that 10 years ago a barrel of crude oil cost 10 US$ and now it is 120 US$.

The Times delivers motorists more bad news, saying the Treasury admitted to quietly abolishing exemption for older cars from the highest road tax rates.

This means owners of larger cars bought since 2001 will pay up to £245 more.

William in Afghanistan

According to the Guardian, schools will be made to keep records of teenage pregnancy rates, pupils' drug problems, criminal records and obesity levels.

The move is part of a government plan to give parents a true picture of their children's lives.

Elsewhere, Prince William's trip to Afghanistan is widely reported and is the Daily Mail's lead story.

It says the visit was considered to be an important part of his training as a future head of the armed forces.
