Various State agencies charged with overseeing construction of houses are pointing fingers at each other over a building collapse which killed eight people.

And as families who lost their loved ones prepare to bury them and as doctors battle to save lives of 44 people who were injured, it has now emerged that the buildings neighbouring the collapsed one are not safe as they all sit in a water catchment.
