The Honeymoon Murder: Who Killed Anni?
Anni Dewani, a young Swedish bride, is shot dead in a taxi in a township outside Cape Town on her honeymoon in 2010. Her husband Shrien Dewani tells police the couple were hijacked and forced out of the vehicle, but the driver and two other South African men arrested for the killing tell a different story, one that points back at Dewani himself. This BBC documentary follows the case through police interviews, courtroom testimony, and reporting from both South Africa and Britain, tracking the years-long extradition battle to bring Dewani home to face trial and the questions raised about his mental state and his marriage. Family members, investigators, and journalists lay out the competing versions of that night, from the hired hitmen's confessions to the defense's account of a random robbery gone wrong. The film stays with the unresolved tension at the center of the case: whether a honeymoon really ended in a random act of violence, or something arranged in advance.
