The murder of Anni Dewani in Cape Town in 2010 became one of the most sensational and bitterly contested cases of the decade. Anni was a bright 28-year-old bride, just two weeks married, when the taxi carrying her and her husband on their honeymoon was hijacked in a South African township. She was driven away and found shot dead the next morning. What began as an apparent random carjacking exploded into a global scandal when the men convicted of her murder claimed her own husband, British businessman Shrien Dewani, had paid to have her killed. He fought extradition for three years, stood trial, and was acquitted when the case against him collapsed. In this episode of Crime at Bedtime, we tell the full story, and both sides of it: the honeymoon, the killing, the murder-for-hire allegations, the trial, the acquittal, and the questions Anni's family have never had answered. Settle in, get comfortable, and let us tell you the story of the honeymoon.
