Brother and sister had 4 children together following years of incest

A brother and a sister had four kids together and are at the centre of an incestual Australian family-of-40 where most of the kids are born by parents who are related.



Martha and Charlie Colt were among the eight relatives arrested when they were found living on a filthy plot which "smelt of urine in faeces" in April.







Genetic tests found 11 of the 12 kids, who slept in squalid tents without running water or electricity, were born to parents who were related. The children, aged between five and 12, could not speak properly and had deformities associated with inbreeding, The Sun reports.



It has now emerged that sick siblings Martha, 38, and Charlie, 45, shared a "marital bed" when they were arrested in New South Wales.







Martha, a pseudonym to protect the identity of child victims, and brother Charlie were living in the town of Griffith at the time, a court heard. Martha was charged with perjury while Charlie is accused of more than a dozens offences including six counts of sexual intercourse with a child under 10.

Cops said four of Martha's five kids, aged between 11 and 20, were born as a result of intercourse with a direct parent or more likely her sibling, Charlie.







When the home was raised on April 15, stunned detectives and welfare authorities found 38 members living on the filthy property which had no running water, electricity or proper sanitation. The children did not know how to use toilet paper, a toothbrush or shower, and had bed-wetting and hearing problems. They were years behind at school (if they had attended at all), tortured animals and had sex with their cousins, uncles and aunts.







Martha's alleged offences are fewer than some of her co-accused siblings and nephews who face charges of sexual intercourse with children, indecent assault and incest.

Derek Colt, 29, faces two charges of incest with a person under the age of 16 while Raylene Colt, 34, and 50-year-old Betty face perjury charges.

The charges were brought 5 years after police raided the Colt family incest bolthole hidden in the hills behind the rural town of Boorowa in 2012.

At Martha Colt’s second bail application on Wednesday, September 12, 2018, Magistrate Alison Viney heard that the accused had high blood pressure and had suffered chest pains and migraines in prison. She had also fallen from an upper prison bunk and suffered soft tissue damage, and was finding her first time in custody “overwhelming”.

If released, she would have to rely on Centrelink welfare payments for her rent, and intended returning to Griffith to live.

Martha Colt was refused bail at yesterday's bail hearing and will remain in prison.

Paying exorbitant school fees is now a bragging right among parents in Nigeria - Uche Nnaji writes

Fashion entrepreneur, Uche Nnaji, just shared an interesting piece on how parents are struggling to pay exorbitant school fees for their kids and yet struggling through life.



According to him, 'where is all these pressure leading us to ? At this rate, do you even plan to stay alive and see these children finish this schools?.



See his full piece below...


In the last 2months 4 young Families and Friends I know have relocated with their kids from Nigeria to Canada| UK | and the US.
One common reason they all gave was the constant rise in school fees . One even told me that “ Uche , my children now attend a CATHOLIC school that is going to be 70yrs old this December and guess what THE SCHOOL IS FREE, I don’t have to pay anything since we migrated legally and to think the school is far better than the school my children were attending in Lekki where I was working to just pay school fees.
.
So the other day , a client told me that he cannot afford to pay #150k for a Tuxudo. Curious I asked WHY , he said that he was paying a little over #7m as school fees for 3 of his kids schooling in Nigeria. And just today another client also tells me he is looking for suits of not more than #80k because he just paid over #3m for his 2 kids both in primary schools.
Honestly this trend is getting me worried for MEN as I wonder , who is putting MEN under this much pressure to now see HIGH school fees as a bragging right?

Where is all these pressure leading us to ? At this rate , Do you even plan to stay alive and see these children finish this schools?.
.
Nigerians, Instead of us to take a stand , Speak Up and REVIVE the missionary schools that most of you attended and turned out successful people today, We are busy bragging about paying #2M FOR ACCEPTANCE FEE FORM for certain PRIMARY SCHOOL on the island .
.
Men&Women who ought to speak up have all looked the other way while Schools like KC, QC and Igbobi colleges which they attended is no longer befitting for their children to attend.
.
Can we just PAUSE for a minute and retrace our footsteps ???.

Photos: Man arrested for suffocating his crying 6-month-old stepson

A couple were arrested on Monday night after they allegedly dumped the body of their suffocated six-month-old baby boy on a Bangkok soi in front of the home of the wife’s mother.

The husband, Witthawat Jitthanopajai, 21, also faced murder charges for allegedly suffocating the son by a previous marriage of his wife, Kanchana Thetsawang, 22.







The baby’s body was found in a basket left in front of the house of Kanchana’s mother on Soi Pracha Uthit 19 in Huay Kwang district at 10am on Sunday.

After learning the baby was Kanchana’s son, the police tracked down and arrested the couple at 10pm on Monday at their rented room at an apartment building in Pathum Thani’s Thanyaburi district.







Kanchana told police her son was born during a previous marriage, but she had remarried after her first husband died about six months ago.

Kanchana said she had left the baby with Witthawat, an Army private, when she left home to work and came back to find that her son had died.

Witthawat told police that when the baby cried, he had wrapped him in a blanket, put him under a pillow and laid down on top of the baby. He said he fell asleep and woke up to find the baby had died.







The couple said they did not know what to do, and so took a taxi to leave the baby in front of the house of Kanachana’s mother.
