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.<br />
<br />
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. <br />
<br />
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.<br />
<br />
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.
