President Mugabe and Big Brother Africa star Wendell Parson
Big Brother Africa star Wendall Parson and his brother William, who were facing allegations of defrauding Alliance Insurance Pvt Ltd in a $23750 insurance scam were today discharged at the close of the State case after the court ruled the State had failed to prove a prima facie case against them.
Magistrate Elijah Makomo said evidence placed before the court was not sufficient to convict the accused because the insurance cover notes supplied to them by Alliance were still valid at the time the accident occurred on March 16.
Allegations against the Wendall brothers were that on March 16 this year, William was involved in an accident while driving Wendall's 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.
On March 18, William allegedly went to the insurance brokers where he applied for insurance for the Ford Ranger together with two other trailers.
