The Anni Dewani Murder Case

Fritz told Sky News police know who they are looking for.

"What we want to confirm at this point is that the investigations are at a very advanced stage.

"We have found positive forensic evidence in the car and we know exactly who the person is," Fritz said.

Sometimes the papers quote people wrongly, but if I were to go on what is quoted above as correct, this is very odd indeed. The articles all refer to gunmen (plural).

Fritz pertinently mentions a "person" (singular).

Odd indeed. I may even be persuaded to consider some alternative theories.

yea what do they mean "who the person is", the person who shot the woman or the person who drove the car away or the person who initially stopped the car?
 
Cape Town - The husband of the murdered tourist Anni Dewani says she made the fatal decision to go into Gugulethu last Saturday night because she wanted to see the “real Africa”.

Speaking to UK tabloid The Sun, Briton Shrien Dewani, 31, revealed on Monday that his Swedish wife said she wanted a change from the “safe” region around their hotel, Cape Town’s luxury Cape Grace, where they were staying for their honeymoon.

“She had never been to Africa before, so she suggested that we should have a look at the ‘real Africa’,” Dewani told the newspaper.

"Anni grew up in Sweden, and she felt as if the area around the hotel was like at home, so clean and safe, and maybe a bit sterile.

According to The Sun, Anni was killed by a bullet which had severed an artery. She is also believed to have been sexually assaulted.

Township tourist hotspot

The couple are believed to have been heading to township tourist hotspot Mzoli’s Meat in Gugulethu at about 23:00 on Saturday night.

But an employee of Mzoli's told News24 that they close at 19:00 every day.

Thabo Mbilatshwa of tour company Direct Action Centre for Peace and Memory said this is because even the owner of Mzoli's is aware of the dangers in Gugulethu at night.

The restaurant was recommended by UK celebrity chef Jamie Oliver in his magazine last year, when he described the food as “heaven” and “totally sexy”.

The couple were travelling in a shuttle car with a driver when they were stopped at traffic lights by two hijackers.

"The men kept saying, 'We are not going to hurt you. We just want the car'. That was a lie," Dewani told The Sun.

The attackers then dumped their driver and drove off with the couple.

‘We begged them to let us go’

He and Anni apparently begged their attackers to dump them together, but after about 20 minutes Shrien ended up being pushed out of the car.

Anni’s bloody body was later found in the car, which was in Khayelitsha.

Shrien said: "I don't want to go into detail about what happened during the attack, because I will probably start crying. But they were so cold. They put a gun in my ear and pulled back the trigger - it really was the stuff of movies.

"Most of the conversation was us pleading to be dumped together. I held on to Anni as I said to them 'Look, if you're not going to hurt her, let us go'."

Western Cape Community Safety MEC Albert Fritz said that police are close to catching the killers.

“We have found positive forensic evidence in the car and we know exactly who the person is," Fritz said.

Well she saw it all right. Up close and personal
 
it will come out as a "tragic mistake" as SHE suggested they go see the real africa and go to a night club and although they/he tried to tell he not too she insisted.
 
I would imagine a larnie hotel's shuttle bus would have a good tracking system. I wonder why the driver didn't notify the police as soon as possible. From what I've read the police were only notified when the husband managed to flag down a car driving past which took him to a police station.

Nobody knows what happened to the driver once the bus was hi-jacked.

Is it clear how long after the driver was left behind, was the husband shoved out of the bus ?
 
I would have rather wanted to die right there doing something stupid like fighting with armed men once i realized they might want to rape my wife :(

Humans are F***in evil!!

Sometimes the victims of a hijack is hysterical and the hijackers probably say something untrue ("we just want the car") in an effort to quieten them.

Seems the rape happened after the husband was shoved out of the car, so he would not have known at that time. But sure, one can assume or predict this is what savage criminals are likely to do.

So she was raped?
 
Ok, so a man loses his newly wedded wife, a woman loses her life, and our country loses millions because of 100's of tourists who would have visited SA, decide not to now.

all, just so that 1 criminal can have a few extra bucks to spend on hookers.

so they never took the car and there is no mention of valuables being taken so these guys stop a car just to rape and kill a person, that seems odd.

Lolwut?

All seems a bit strange to me. Especially how the widower won't go into any details from 'fear of crying'.

It was specifically mentioned that the husband was robbed ...

Many explanations for not taking the car, e.g. they were disturbed and had to get away for fear of being spotted by potential witnesses.
