Husband paid me to find hitman to kill his bride, claims taxi driver UK news The Guardian: "driver of the honeymoon couple whose vehicle was apparently carjacked in South Africa pleaded guilty yesterday to playing a part in killing Anni Hindocha, 28, and claimed that her husband, Shrien Dewani, a Bristol businessman, was the instigator of the murder.
In a confession read to the Western Cape high court, Zola Tongo, 31, who has become a state witness in the investigation into the murder on 13 November, claims Dewani paid him 1,000 rand (about £92) for staging a car jacking that would end in the murder of his wife in a township.
But South African police refused to comment yesterday on whether they have asked British police to arrest Dewani, 31, who runs a chain of nursing homes in the south-west of England.
In a statement, South Africa's police commissioner, Bheki Cele, said: 'We remain committed to ensuring that justice emerges triumphant in this matter. We will follow all prescripts of the law with due regard to local and international protocols.' A spokesman for the national prosecuting authority said it had not been asked to prepare an extradition request.
Tongo, who claims he had initially been offered 5,000 rand for organising the killing, was found guilty of kidnapping, robbery with aggravating circumstances, murder and obstructing justice. Judge John Hope sentenced him to 18 years in prison."
