Sarreguemines - A 60-year-old French woman and her mentally handicapped daughter have been taken into local authority care after being found living in a house containing 10 years of accumulated rubbish.

According to officials, the rubbish was piled up half way to the ceiling in all eight rooms. They lived without water, telephone, heating or proper sanitation, and ate outside. They only entered the rat infested house to sleep.
