State prosecutor Ms Constance Ngombengombe alleges that on March 16 this year, Wendall's brother, William was involved in an accident while driving the former's car, a Ford Ranger.
The accident was reported at Borrowdale Police Station and it is alleged that on the day the accident occurred, Wendall's vehicle was not insured.
Afterwards, it is alleged that Wendall connived with his brother and hatched a plan to defraud Alliance Insurance Pvt Ltd.
On March 18, William allegedly went to the insurance brokers where he applied for insurance for the Ford Ranger together with two other trailers.
