Taxi Hijacked
British newlywed murdered in Cape Town
(eTN) - On Saturday, November 13, 2010, newlyweds from Britain, Shrien (age 30) and Anni Dewani (age 28) were traveling in a silver Volkswagen taxi to their luxury Cape Grace hotel, when they were carjacked by two men with guns near the Gugulethu township.
Shrien, who runs a multimillion-dollar luxury carehome business in Bristol, was later shoved out of the car in the Khayelitsha township area, where he was able to flag down a car to take him to the police station.
The following morning, Anni Dewani was found dead in the back seat of the car with 3 bullet wounds to her chest.
The regional minister for community safety, Albert Fritz, told Sky News: "We are about to make a breakthrough, and we have found positive forensic evidence in the car. We know exactly who the person is, we are hunting him and are very close to finding him."
Cape Town Tourism CEO Mariette Du Toit-Helmbold stated: “Cape Town Tourism is deeply saddened and dismayed by this senseless murder of a young woman in our city. We offer our heartfelt condolences to her husband, Shrien Dewani, family, and friends."
Comments
Different news sources = different sentences, all uttered by the same people. Some give part of the sentence, others give more, I wonder if any give all that was said. Whatever the case, something does not 'sit' right with this case. Why was the Driver ejected from the vehicle, and what did he do when he was? No mention is being made about his activity from the time of being ejected. I cannot imagine these shuttles not being fitted with Tracking devices. Why was the vehicle only found the following morning, hours and hours after the husband reported the carjacking at the SAPS? Why was he so fortunate to be ejected from the Vehicle when surely, even our DUMB criminals would know he would go to the Police.
