Oh, It’s On! Date Set For Dewani Trial #papawag

Years of applications to stop extradition have done nothing more than buy time for Shrien Dewani, who is accused of paying someone to kill his wife, Anni. Today a judge set the date for the trial that will no doubt grip South Africa as has the Pistorius trial.

Years of applications to stop extradition have done nothing more than buy time for Shrien Dewani, who is accused of paying someone to kill his wife, Anni. Today a judge set the date for the trial that will no doubt grip South Africa as has the Pistorius trial.

According to Reuters:

A South African judge on Friday set October 6 as the start date for the murder trial of British businessman Shrien Dewani, who is accused of planning the killing of his bride in a staged car-jacking while on honeymoon in Cape Town in 2010.

Dewani was extradited from Britain in April after losing a three-year battle to avoid facing trial in South Africa, where three men convicted of the murder have implicated him in the killing.
