The evidence against Shrien Dewani, accused of ordering the murder of his fiancée on honeymoon, would not stand up in a British court, a forensic scientist has told the BBC.
Anni Dewani (28) was shot in a taxi on the outskirts of Cape Town in 2010, notes a report on the News24 site. Professor Jim Fraser told the BBC's Panorama programme there was 'simply a cloud of suspicion... rather than any evidence' against Dewani, a 33-year-old British businessman, who has denied any involvement in the shooting and is in the process of fighting extradition to SA. Fraser told the BBC there were contradictions in the evidence of a witness, the Dewanis' taxi driver Zola Tongo who is expected to form a key part of the prosecution case, and said the investigation fell short of British standards. Panorama said it had seen video confessions, CCTV footage, phone records, scientific evidence and pictures of the crime scene. Full report on the News24 site
