Eight people have been arrested in a police sting tackling an alleged 'incest farm' in Australia, which is said to involve a family of up to 40 inbred people.
Members of the Colt family – a pseudonym – were arrested last week following a years-long probe into the group, believed to have originated in New Zealand with brother and sister couple Tim and June Colt in the mid-1960s. Decades later, around 38 members of the Colts were found living in tents and shacks in a farm in New South Wales in 2012.
Family matriarch Betty – thought to be Tim and June's offspring – is alleged to have conceived 12 children with her brother Charlie. Following the police raid 11 years ago the clan is believed to have spread itself over various Australian states, the Mirror reports.
