Walter Magaya, the founder of PHD Ministries, has approached the Constitutional Court seeking to stop his ongoing rape trial, claiming the prosecution is relying on manipulated evidence.
His lawyers told the court that investigators and prosecutors allegedly tampered with a witness statement in an attempt to strengthen the case against him.
The defence also argued that the state no longer has enough evidence to continue with the matter, particularly after one of the complainants is said to have withdrawn support for the prosecution.
Presiding magistrate Francis Mapfumo is expected to deliver a ruling on the application on May 29.
