WITH TEARS STREAMING down her cheeks, a distraught and at times inconsolable Edmunda Gittens could only watch on in disbelief as the house she had called home for 80 years was stripped down to its foundation.
Yesterday’s development was the end result of a bitter feud between the owners of the plot of land at Kendal Hill, Christ Church, and Gittens, 86, over the non-payment of land rent. 
Just after 8 a.m. yesterday, a female marshal drove on to the plot of land where the elderly woman lived with her son and demanded that the items be removed from inside the house in which she had lived from the age of five.
With three of her eight children and a few grandchildren on hand to lend assistance, Gittens could not hold back the tears as two carpenters began to dismantle the wooden house. (RB)
