Woman accused of acquiring property through forged will granted $10,000 bail

A woman was yesterday placed on $10,000 bail by a city court after she denied forging a will to obtain property valued over $14 million.

Marshall pleaded not guilty to the charge when it was read to her by Magistrate Fabayo Azore.
