The People’s Democratic Party (PDP) President Tendai Biti’s homestead in Murewa was on Sunday night burnt to the ground in a suspected arson attack, it has been revealed.

According to sources on the ground, all property at the homestead was destroyed.
A report has since been made to the police but no arrests have been made.
