Natascha Kampusch has revealed she imaged herself dead while being locked up by pervert Wolfgang Priklopil.
The 21-year-old writes in her autobiography “3,096 Tage” (3,096 Days), out this Wednesday (8 September), she saw her own body buried in a forest in front of her eyes.
“I thought to myself whether it hurt when one dies. But then I told myself that this doesn’t matter. What matters are the injuries,” she told Austrian daily Kurier today (Mon).
Kampusch also revealed Priklopil — who committed suicide hours after she escaped in August 2006 — beat her and threw a knife at her.
She said the pedophile abductor wanted to give her a name “to weaken me”. She explained: “He wanted to take power from me because my first name is rather strong and intense. He wanted to name me Maria, but I chose Bibiana — not because I liked it so much but because it comes after my own name day.”
Speaking about Priklopil, Kampusch stressed he was “paranoid, sick and poor.”
“He would not have kidnapped a child had he not been like that,” she said.
Asked how she felt right after being snatched off the road on her way to school, she said: “I couldn’t believe it. It was as if war breaks out and everything you ever possessed is suddenly lost — as if all bad omens, presumptions and fears become reality.”
Kampusch also writes about humiliation and slaps in the face during her childhood.
