More than 30 members of a family in Wango, Mbeere South in Embu County have been sleeping out in the cold after their houses were demolished on Tuesday in a land row.

The 11 permanent houses belonging to the late Mweu Mulwa’s four sons, a daughter and their children and grandchildren were brought down by youths hired by Quickline Auctioneers and supervised by police and an assistant chief.
