Husband arrested over SA murder

Anni Dewani and Shrien DewaniThe pair had been married two weeks

The husband of a woman murdered on her honeymoon in South Africa has been detained in the UK, the Metropolitan Police said.

Anni Dewani, 28, from Sweden, was shot after being kidnapped while in a taxi with her husband Shrien last month.

On Tuesday, taxi driver Zola Tongo told Western Cape High Court he was offered 15,000 rand (£1,400) by Shrien Dewani, 31, from Bristol, to kill his wife.

Mr Dewani’s family described the allegations as “totally ludicrous”.
