Chaotic Scenes As Dewani Leaves Cape Town

Written By Unknown on Selasa, 09 Desember 2014 | 23.17

Shrien Dewani has boarded a flight out of South Africa after being cleared of plotting his wife's death on their honeymoon.

The case against the 34-year-old was thrown out by Judge Jeanette Traverso, who ruled that prosecution arguments fell "far below" the level needed for a conviction for the murder of Anni Dewani.

Mr Dewani arrived at Cape Town airport with members of his family and they boarded an Emirates flight to Dubai.

It is believed they will take a connecting flight from there to Britain.

Sky's Special Correspondent Alex Crawford said the businessman, who made no comment, looked "very well" and "very relaxed" despite the chaotic scenes as he was surrounded by dozens of photographers.

He "looked very different to the man who appeared in the dock" on Monday, Crawford added.

"He had a full police escort, with at least half a dozen police officers around him. He refused to answer any questions. He looked extremely well," she said.

Mr Dewani, of Westbury-on-Trym, Bristol, had denied any involvement in the murder of his 28-year-old wife.

He said she was killed during a botched carjacking during their Cape Town honeymoon in November 2010.

The dismissal of the case led to angry scenes outside court as Mrs Dewani's family criticised the South African justice system.

In a statement read outside the court, the Hindocha family said: "The knowledge of not knowing is going to haunt us for the rest of our lives."

Mrs Dewani's sister Ami Denborg told Sky's Alex Crawford: "The justice system has failed us."

The family say they will review the case with their lawyers to see if they can file a civil lawsuit against Mr Dewani in the UK.

Three men - Zola Tongo, Mziwamadoda Qwabe and gunman Xolile Mngeni - have already been convicted over Mrs Dewani's murder.

Qwabe is currently serving a 25-year sentence. Mngeni was serving life for firing the shot that killed Mrs Dewani, but died from a brain tumour in October.

But Judge Traverso said chief prosecution witness cab driver Tongo's claims about the murder were "riddled with contradictions" and "highly debatable".

Prosecutors claimed Dewani, who is bisexual, wanted to leave the relationship and arranged the carjacking during the couple's trip to South Africa.

But Dewani's defence team argued the case against him was weak.
