Police in South Africa say they have arrested a third suspect in connection with the murder of a woman from Bristol who was killed on her honeymoon.

Anni Dewani and her husband Shrien were in a taxi near Cape Town on 13 November when they were kidnapped by armed men.

Police spokesman Captain Frederick van Wyk said they arrested a 31-year-old Cape Town man on Saturday afternoon.

Two men were arrested earlier this week. One of them, Xolile Mngeni, was charged with murder and robbery.

He appeared in court on Thursday.
