Former Big Brother Africa winner Wendall Parson and his brother William, who were facing fraud charges involving US$20 000 in a car insurance scandal, were yesterday acquitted. Harare magistrate Mr Elijah Makomo cleared Wendall and William at the close of the State case.

Mr Makomo ruled that there was no evidence placed before the court to warrant the two to be placed on their defence.

“Oral evidence and two sets of cover notes were produced in court as evidence,” said Mr Makomo. “The most contentious issue was whether the cover notes meant Wendall had insurance cover or insurance was effected once premiums had been paid.”
