Shrien Dewani, the British millionaire businessman 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,
because according to her '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".
Meanwhile, there was video showing Mr Dewani meeting with Tongo and
giving him money days before the murder, but this was not enough to convict
him. He will now be released.
The murdered wife, Anni Dewani's family including her sister Ami,
brother Anish, and father Vinod broke down after the ruling, and said they
couldn't believe their sister didn't get any justice. They said they would
suffer 'sleepless nights for the rest of their lives'.
