The Colt family was made up of 40 kids and started by couple Tim and Betty in the 1970s, with the former going on to allegedly father numerous children with his own kids and even a grandchild
The world’s most inbred family of 40 kids was torn apart after a child was overheard in the school playground.
The Colt clan – an alias given by courts in New South Wales – was started by Tim with wife June after he left New Zealand for Australia in 1970. June was also a product of incest – and the couple went on to have seven children – Martha, Frank, Paula, Cherry, Rhonda, Betty, and Charlie. Tim is understood to have then fathered many of his own children’s offspring, including four of Rhonda’s.
He is alleged to have been raping Betty – who has 13 kids – since she was 12 years old – and even supposedly fathered one of his grandchildren’s children. June died in 2001 and Tim in 2009. But this was not the end of the family and instead the 40-strong clan was taken over by Betty.
They would finally be found in 2012, living close to the Australian outback, with every member feared to have taken part in sexual encounters with at least one family member, reports the Daily Star.
