Duni Nzahi Mseche (89) sits in front of his shelter in Kaya Godhoma, a refuge built on holy ground near the remote village of Mrima wa Ndege, provides sanctuary to those accused of witchcraft.
Two years ago, Mseche was forced to flee his home after his three grandsons demanded that he sell his 12-acre farm, which they were in line to inherit after their father died.
When he refused and then successfully went to court after his grandsons sold the property behind his back they stirred up fellow villagers by accusing him of being a warlock and blaming him for the recent death of a child. Mr Mseche got wind of the plot and managed to flee.
Mr Mseche is one of ten residents at the Kaya refuge, safe because no-one would dare carry out a murder on such a hallowed spot.
