BOGOTA - A Colombian couple with 18 children sold the latest addition to their family, a pair of six month old twins, for $300 (£187) and a small plot of land, Bogota's El Espectador newspaper said yesterday.

It said the couple had been jailed in San Pedro, in southwest Valle province, after neighbours denounced the sale of the twin girls.
