A WOMAN who was drugged, kidnapped and held hostage by a man dubbed Sweden's Josef Fritzl has revealed the one mistake he made that eventually saved her. Isabel Eriksson, now 39, shared the ordeal she suffered at the hands of Dr Martin Trenneborg and said her captor kept her in a dark bunker and tormented her with sick masks.

The harrowing story of the Swedish national is depicted in the new Amazon series The Bunker. Her second date with twisted Trenneborg turned into a nightmare after he used drug-laced strawberries to knock her out and kidnap her taking her to a remote farm, some 350 miles from her home in Stockholm.

His plan was to keep her as a sex slave in a fortified soundproof bunker. Recalling the moment she regained consciousness Isabel said: "I’m dazed. My mouth is dry, and I slowly open my eyes. "I look straight up at the ceiling. It smells bad. I don’t know what day it is or what time of day. I realise I don’t know where I am.

"I’m lying under a blanket wearing a pair of jeans and a pink jumper. My body feels slow and it aches. When I turn over. I couldn’t feel any underwear under my jeans. It’s cold…". Isabel said she tried to attack him and escape but Trenneborg warned her not to try it again.

"He said that if I try again he would fix me up in chains in bed and feed me only with crispbread. I was completely panicked. I felt powerless.". He later bought her a sandwich and told her he would paint the walls in a colour she would prefer. She continued: "He gave me three books to read; they were about women who had been raped and murdered.
