Shrien Dewani Extradited To South Africa
British man Shrien Dewani, 34, suspected of arranging the murder of his 28-year-old wife on their honeymoon has arrived in South Africa to face trial after a three-year legal battle against extradition due to his mental health problems.
Dewani, who denies the murder, was taken from Fromeside Hospital to Bristol Airport by officers from the Metropolitan Police Service Extradition Unit who met with South African representative authorities.
The Bristol man, who is due to appear in court when he will be formally charged, said he should not be forced from the UK as he is suffering from mental problems, including depression and post-traumatic stress disorder.
