David and Fatilla Bartlet appeared before Harare magistrate
Dennis Mangosi.
The State withdrew the charges before a plea was entered as
it had no evidence that linked the Bartlets to the alleged fraud and theft.
Their lawyer, Tafadzwa Hungwe, expressed satisfaction with
the outcome and commended the State for acting in the interests of justice.
The couple had been accused of fraudulently tendering
documents to the Registrar of Companies and stealing a company vehicle.
The State had claimed that sometime in June last year,
David and Fatilla, who are both directors at Tilly’s Inn, hatched a plan to
fraudulently remove Enos Musakwa (Chief Musarurwa) of Nharira area, from his
directorship role.
It was further alleged that the duo and Harare lawyer,
James Makiya, submitted fraudulent documents to the Registrar of Companies.
The court heard that the Registrar of Companies terminated
the chief’s directorship using the alleged fraudulent documents.
The Bartlets’ luck was said to have run out when Chief
Musarurwa allegedly received information that he had tendered a resignation
letter from his directorship.
The duo was also being accused of stealing the company’s
car and allegedly selling it to Joseph Muchenje. H Metro
