Harare woman grabs estate of late ‘boyfriend’

A HARARE woman allegedly falsified documents of her late boyfriend to claim his estate after staying with the deceased for a few days.

The suspect, Portia Rudo Bvekerwa, claimed to the Master of the High Court that she is the surviving spouse of the late Stanely Phute in bid to claim his estate despite her staying with the deceased for less than a week.

The deceased’s daughter Nyasha Lynnette is the applicant in the matter, and she cited Bvekerwa and Tatenda Ndlovu, the executor of the estate, as respondents.
