Biti given 3 days to file papers

OPPOSITION legislator Tendai Biti was yesterday given up to Friday to file supporting documents in his application for referral of his assault case to the Constitution Court. Biti stands accused of assaulting Russian businesswoman Tatiana Aleshina.

Biti, who is being represented by Alec Muchadehama, had sought one week extension saying there was no electricity at his office, hence he needed more time to arrange the papers.
