Shrien Dewani walks free from honeymoon murder trial


Hmmmm....Is this justice or injustice? The British millionaire businessman, Shrien Dewani who was accused of arranging his wife's murder during their honeymoon in South Africa in November 2010 was today cleared of any part in the murder.


The judge, Jeanette Traverso, dismissed the case against Shrien Dewani, stating that 'the evidence presented by the prosecution fell "far below the threshold" of what a reasonable court could convict on. She said the evidence of the prosecution's main witness, taxi driver Zola Tongo, was "riddled with contradictions" and "highly debatable". 

However, there was a video showing Mr Dewani meeting with Tongo and giving him money days before the murder, but this was not enough to convict him. 

  
The murdered wife, Anni Dewani's family including her sister Ami, brother Anish, and father Vinod (pictured above-left) - broke down after the ruling, and said they couldn't believe their sister didn't get any justice and they would suffer 'sleepless nights for the rest of their lives'.

Of course the fact was seen giving the taxi cab money, does not draw the inference that he was cooking the murder of his wife. It is sad and unfortunate.
