Well, considering he's paid for a rent boy before he's probably amped about Pollsmor

It's prob the food that's scaring him off
 
Dewani's "active" lifestyle exposed

London - Shrien Dewani exercises for hours on end even though his lawyers say he is too ill to stand trial over the murder of his wife on honeymoon, a court heard on Monday.

The businessman - alleged to have ordered the killing in Cape Town last November - is said to carry out strenuous weight-training sessions despite being diagnosed with a condition which leaves sufferers struggling to walk or talk.

Staff at the psychiatric hospital where he is being detained also spotted him using a skipping rope and doing push-ups and sit-ups, it was claimed.

Dewani’s lawyers said he should not be extradited to South Africa because he would be at risk of being raped while on remand by gangs who are HIV positive.

But Judge Deon Hurter van Zyl claimed the reports the lawyers relied upon to make this claim were a “total exaggeration” and “based on hearsay”.

Dewani, 31, and his wife Anni, 28, were being chauffeured through Gugulethu when their taxi was hijacked on November 13 last year. Dewani was thrown out of the car and the assailants drove off with his wife.

She was robbed of her cellphone, white gold diamond bracelet, Armani wristwatch and handbag before being killed with a single gunshot wound to her neck. Her body was found the next morning in the back of the abandoned cab. Taxi driver Zola Tongo, jailed for 18 years after admitted his part in the crime, claimed in a plea agreement that Dewani ordered the hijacking and paid for a hit on his wife.

Details of Dewani’s apparently active lifestyle emerged during the resumption of his extradition hearing at Belmarsh Magistrates Court in East London on Monday.

His lawyer, Clare Montgomery QC, argued it was “positively inhuman” to keep such an ill man in the courtroom. Within 10 minutes he was allowed to shuffle out.

Dewani, a wealthy care home owner from Bristol, has been diagnosed with psychomotor retardation.

Paul Cantrell, the specialist in charge of Dewani’’s care, told the court that his patient had “slowed down” as if thinking and moving through mud”.

But Hugo Keith QC, for the South African authorities, read from a medical report which said he regularly carried out vigorous exercises for up to two hours at the Fromeside Clinic, a secure mental health hospital in Bristol where he is on bail.

Keith said that Dewani would also work out on the multi-gym at the family home during twice-weekly supervised visits.

The court heard that staff confiscated his skipping rope after watching him exercise with it in a walled garden. Montgomery said that South African prisons were often controlled by violent gangs who use sexual violence on inmates they disliked.

“The most notorious locality for gang activity is the Western Cape, the area effectively Mr Dewani would be taken to,” she said.

Dewani denies any wrong-doing. The hearing continues. - Daily Mail

This will be a mockery of the English justice system if this fool isn't extradited back to SA.
 
If he is this disturbed, and quite probably very dangerous, then have him indefinitely committed to a psychiatric institution. He can come out whenever he is ready to stand trial. Or spend the rest of his life there being dosed with strong psychiatric drugs.

It is a joke already. They don't even deport foreigners who've been convicted of serious crimes if they think his "rights" or safety will be in peril if they're sent back to their home county :rolleyes:
 
I also hear voices, difference is mine likes me :love:

seriously though, the question that begs to be answered is what led to his "breakdown"... Is it his conscience or is it the shaiks or is he simply kaking himself out of fear for South African prisons? Maybe they should mention to the judge that a room in sun city is available....

The problem is that they're quite right to be cautious about where they send someone. There are more than enough countries that have sloppy legal systems or where torture would be used to extract a "confession". Dewani has the means to hire the necessary firepower to exploit this caution. Of course Dewani should perhaps have instead been spending his money making friends with our own local scumbag who pretends to be sick, Shabir Shaik. Then he could come to South Africa, get convicted and spend very little time in jail.

Dewani does not intend to stand in a SA court, so he's a bit ahead of you. He's taken a multi-prong approach to fight this. He claims he won't get a fair trial (he'll lose that), he says SA jails will give him HIV (the courts will consider that, but SA can just promise him solitary), he claims being here will cause him to commit suicide (put him on suicide watch), etc...

Come to think of it, his defence is a bit weak.
 
Can the trial not continue here so long without him? Surely the courts can say...right...we are doing the trial with or without you....you may attend or waive your right to defend yourself. If you are found guilty here, we will still continue the extradition process with the UK...if they refuse..we will be watching you closely and god help you if you set foot in Africa again boeta. If you are found not guilty then good for you.
 
There are no human rights arguments against extraditing Shrien Dewani to stand trial for allegedly arranging his wife's murder, a London court heard on Wednesday.

"South Africa is a civilised [country] for these purposes," the British Press Association quoted Hugo Keith QC, for the South African authorities, as saying.

He was testifying in an extradition hearing in Belmarsh Magistrate's Court.

Dewani, 31, is wanted in South Africa for allegedly paying for a hit on his Swedish bride Anni, 28, while they were on honeymoon in Cape Town in 2010.

His lawyers are fighting his extradition, partly on the grounds that he may not be safe in South Africa.

Dewani, a care home owner from Bristol, is said to be suffering from severe post-traumatic stress syndrome and has been excused from attending his extradition proceedings.

His legal team has cited his illness among the reasons why he should not be extradited.
