A family who temporarily moved their mother out of her retirement home and destroyed most of her belongings due to a bedbug infestation have said it did not fix the problem.

Najma Sota, 75, has Parkinson's disease and has lived alone in Azad House in Highfields, Leicester, for 13 years.

Her daughter Sakina Abdulla said they discovered her flat was crawling with bedbugs that were biting her mother, so took her home with them while her flat was fumigated, and destroyed her furniture, clothing and personal items.

PA Housing, which owns the building, has apologised and said it was working with two pest control contractors to "eradicate" the bedbugs, but added they had proven a "notoriously difficult" pest.
