The Honeymoon Murder: The Case Of Anni Dewani

Today’s case is one of the most polarising and controversial ones we’ve looked into.
In 2010, Anni Dewani and her new husband Shrien, set off on their 10 day honeymoon to South Africa. What started off as a picture perfect holiday, soon turned into a nightmare when Anni was kidnapped and killed. Soon, everyone involved would be pointing the finger at each other, leaving the events of what happened that night…still being questioned to this day.
UPDATE: One of the men convicted in her murder in 2010, Zola Tongo - the taxi driver on the night - has been granted parole. (March 2022)
According to a report in The South African:
“Tongo has a string of conditions to adhere to, as part of his parole.
• Tongo has to find work
• He is also not free to roam around as he pleased and will be placed under house detention
• Tongo must also undergo social work and psychological treatment while on parole
• He is barred from using or trading in any alcohol or drugs and can be subjected to random substance and drug tests”

[@auntym979]

He killed her and got away with it, but guess what, he sleep's awake, coz he knows what his done Maybe his gay boyfriend will do the samething to him one day. I don't care how much money his got, his not happy, and have no peace, she was innocent she didn't deserve to die, May God see to it...... my condolences to the father and all her family, the judge has failed you, but please put your trust in the real judge, The Lord Jesus Christ.....RIP BEAUTIFUL SISTER, TO ALL THE GAYS OUT THERE, COME OUT OK, WE DON'T CARE WHO YOU ARE, JUST COME OUT, DONT GET MARRIED JUST TO PRETEND AND USE OUR SISTERS OK, come the F out.....as for you killer, you will answer to God one day

Wow -- he completely got away with murder. The fact that: a) Both the husband and the driver said it was "her idea" to go through the bad part of town at night (same storyline). b) The phone call captured on recording of one of the killers on the phone at the hotel saying the guy is in a rush and wants it done tonight. c) The husband meeting up with the driver the next day w/ husband looking directly at the camera (and immediately realizing his mistake) just as the driver said he did. d) They only killed the wife but let the husband out unscathed. ...all that seals it for me that the husband planned the murder. I hope one day they can retry him and find him guilty, but that seems doubtful. You can see how loved she was by her family. Such a sad and senseless crime.

it struck me as odd too.. being as wealthy and prone to display that wealth as he was, the choice to opt for a shuttle service over a trusted taxi service provided for by the hotel seems extremely strange.. and even more so when there are township tours arranged by trusted companies who could've taken them to see the townships if they really wanted to. I'm sure if he'd asked, they would have told him as much but it does seem very weird that someone that well off and smart would have willingly put himself and his new wife into a situation like that in a country he didn't know. Maybe he was trusting, but most wealthy businessmen are more savvy than that and know when a situation requires more caution. I don't know but its odd to me.

As a South African, it's hard to relay the anger and frustration at the lack of justice in this case.

[@avelakhoza6140]

There is lack of Justice in most cases here in SA, especially for well off people who can afford a competent Lawyer. I think they should improve skills of the prosecutors. When I watch the level of Investigation for international cases, you notice that they kind of leave no stone unturned. I am a fan of 48hrs, it's amazing that even the smallest detail can change the case. They should have trained the Star witness on how to answer questions as well, given that they had access into the statement he gave before vs what he told later. I blame incompetency. They couldn't even trace his cell phone, with regards to where it pinned last. Thats something that should have been seized from the beginning. Also, they were supposed to rule out the husband as a suspect, before he even jumped into that plane.

[@aguafrita]

Honestly, you never know what it's going on inside a person's mind. We were organising our honeymoon after almost 2 years of being married. Before and during the pandemic, I realised that I wasn't happy and I started asking for divorce. My strange husband would convince to keep on trying and not to give up on us, which I agreed many times with the condition of him seeing a therapist for his mental health. Things got worse and when I finally sent an email to the courthouse, the police knocked the door looking for me. It turned out that every time I have been asking him for divorce, he was reporting me to the police claiming that I was an abusive, alcoholic, always high on marihuana and I tried to kill him with a knife. I was speechless. All those reports happened while we were planning our honeymoon, hoping that going on a trip would improve things. Can you imagine what would have happened if we went on that trip together? He planned all with his beloved mother.

The fact that he would not have sex with his partner, before marriage, but then discovered he had a gay sex partner, would ring bells for me, he was so paranoid his family would find out he was Gay, I believe he would have done anything to cover his sexuality. The fact he had a pizza party the evening before his Wife's funeral is appalling, I mean losing your wife is bad enough, but losing her in this way, is something many would not recover from. I understand he became extremely ill, but I think this was because he then understood he was not getting away with it so easily. I also believe the fact that his family was extremely rich allowed them to assist in securing his freedom. The Police and Courts had a simple question to answer, what did they ( the thieves ) have to gain by killing her ?. Absolutely nothing,.They could have stolen the jewelry, money, and left them both in the car, no rape took place, so why kill her and not her husband. I feel very sad for Annie's family, not being able to see justice for their daughter, would not bring her back but may have brought them a little closer.

The fathers speech was heart wrenching

[@VeganNita]

So Dewani asked for cheap transport from the hotel, to dine in a less expensive restaurant then planned and was ok with being driven into the slums of South Africa with his new wife on their honeymoon?? Oh and after his wife's kidnapping and murder he asked for her wedding ring to be retreived from the back seat pocket of the taxi where her dead body was found?!! Yes, I agree with the judge he is innocent of any conspiracy to have had his wife killed. 😳😳😳 Oh yes and he picked South Africa for their honeymoon destination because it matched their initials S and A. Complete Nonsense.

[@LadyAstarionAncunin]

Don't forget he was watching g-y p/rn while he knew she was dead. He didn't care about her.

Dewani also told her that he could not have sex with his her before marriage due to his religious beliefs. Yet he was seeing a male prostitute three times a week and watched gay porn during his very short honeymoon. The math is not mathing.

When this case first broke out in South Africa I was in shock. As a resident from Cape Town, nothing made sense, especially allowing tourists to go to Gugulethu, day or night time, especially not night time. In all my years of living in Cape Town, I've NEVER even been to Gugs because of how dangerous it is. It was heartbreaking to watch Anni's dad cry. Her family but especially her dad. I prayed and I cried for Anni and for her family. We knew Shrien was guilty. He was and is and he will get his day. Shrien is not welcome here in South Africa. Our people will take justice into their hands. Up until today we still hold this against him.

[@DaniHMcV]

If everyone knows how dangerous it is, why hasn’t the government cleaned it up? Or is it because it was a colony (sorry if I’m getting the history completely mixed up here) of Britain and you guys also inherited their shit sentencing laws? I’m from Canada so I know the frustration of having a “justice system” derived from the British system. It doesn’t sentence criminals harshly enough so they’re back on the streets in no time. It’s common here for a murderer to get 15 years, be out in 9-10. Our systems are wayyy too lax.

He went to trial and his defence team deliberately confused the defendants so they could say they were contradicting themselves and he would be let off, and they looked like the liars.
