Businessmen acquitted in Rhodes estate dispute

TWO Harare businessmen who were facing allegations of fraud in the Brian James Rhodes Estate dispute have been acquitted.

A Harare woman, Elizabeth Parirenyatwa, who claimed to be the executor of the estate of the late Brian James Rhodes who died in 2006, has been in a legal battle with Brian Murphy and Adam Wood for years.

In 2022, Parirenyatwa was evicted from a property along Mutare Road belonging to Karoi Properties (Pvt) Ltd before she pressed a charge of fraud against the two businessmen.
