Three persons affected as Kitty house collapses
Three persons are now homeless after the building they occupied at Public Road, Kitty, collapsed yesterday afternoon.
One of the occupants of the house, who identified himself as Michael Smith, told this publication that he occupied the upper flat of the building, while a man and a woman occupied the bottom flat. Smith said he was sitting on his bed when he first noticed a post at the centre of the house shifting.
The collapsed building
According to Smith, he then remembered that he had some clothes under the house on a line drying so he decided to go and collect them.
“When I reach under the house I start picking up my clothes and then I hear a cracking sound and then I see the house start moving, so I run out and then the house fall and I get some bruises”.
The man said he did not get to save any of his belongings as his only focus at the time was to save himself. However when the dust settled, Smith said he went to see what he could have saved from the rubble.
Smith said he will try his best to fix up what is left of the building and stay there until he can find a place to live. He added that the other occupants of the house have been informed of what transpired. Smith told this publication that the woman who occupied the lower section of the building is of unsound mind.
Smith, who sells DVDs for a living, took time out to appeal to the public for assistance as most of his belongings have been damaged.
