A man who wrote to his brother's neighbours wrongly alleging that the brother is a paedophile says his action had nothing to do with being cut out of his parents' will.
The man, aged 64, dropped packages in the letterboxes of about 40 neighbours around his older brother's home in an affluent Auckland suburb last weekend).
The man who dropped the packages is now under police investigation himself.
The packages included photos of the brother and his wife, a USB stick containing an interview with the brothers' elderly mother, and a letter printed in large, multi-coloured text alleging that the brother molested a 13-year-old girl.
The girl, now a young woman, says the claims are not true.
