British
Businessman Shrien Dewani, 34 who was cleared by the Western Cape High Court of
hiring hit men to murder his wife, Anni Hindocha Dewani during their honeymoon
arrived London Gatwick Airport this morning on a flight from Dubai.
The murder
case against Dewani was thrown out by Judge Jeanette Traverso who ruled that
prosecution arguments fall “ far below” the level needed to convict.
Dewani had
returned to Britain in 2010 within days of the murder and fought a three-year legal
battle to avoid being extradited to South Africa, claiming he had mental health
problems, including depression and post-traumatic stress but he was sent back
to South Africa in April, where he was found fit to stand trial and was held at
a psychiatric hospital for the duration of the trial.
The Hindocha 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.
Dewani left Cape Town,South Africa on board an
Emirates flight to Dubai and arrived Britain before sunrise.
