I smell an appeal coming 
Because being gay is not a motive for murder. Being forced into a marriage by family might be a motive, being threatened with being disowned by his family might be motive - being gay is irrelevant
Yes. His sexuality is not relevant. Hiring hitmen is evidence and the state has to prove he did so

His sexuality is motive, hiring hitmen is evidence.
But clearly our judges dont seem to get it
So you think being gay is a motive to murder... Ok then...

Are you seriously not getting it???
Gay men dont get into arranged marriages, how can you not see whats happened here? Are you that blind?

So you think a straight man forced into an arranged marriage he didn't want to be in would never ever consider murder as a solution but if he were gay then of course he would? I'm struggling to see what relevance his sexuality has here. Being straight or gay is irrelevant. Being forced into a marriage he didn't want to be in is what is relevant.

Because gay men dont marry females
Yes they do. Why are you so uninformed.
Later they get divorced and move on. More common than murder.

The prosecution is expected to argue that Dewani is gay and plotted to have his wife killed to escape an arranged marriage that he was pushed into by his family.

Sneha Meshru testimony(Anni's cousin)

Direct testimony beats reporters opinion.
And hence you should not base your opinions on a reporters opinion. Most of these reporters are '30% pass rate' mentalities.
What ever the outcome of this trial, the fact remains that,a lady lost her life because she visited SA.

I would like to hear how the defence explains the footage of Dewani meeting Tongo after the murder and handing him a plastic bag as allegedly seen in CCTV footage. Also, what about the mutiple meetings they had after the murder?
I can only assume the defence would say that Dewani was trying to get info from Tongo on what happened to his wife after he was kicked from the car.

Read point 97, 98, 102,103 of his defense statement which you can find here

Its not admissible because (amongst other reasons) it's already common cause so the whole evidence will not add value to the case.

Thanks joelus.
Interesting.
He is not discussing the other meetings (after the murder) where Tongo allegedly told him they are being recorded on CCTV.

It has got nothing to do with it. If my wife gets hijacked/kidnapped and they look into the skeletons in my closet I will be in a lot more shizz than Dewani is now.

DEWANI COURT LED THROUGH PHONE EVIDENCE
Phone calls and video footage of the night Shrien Dewani and his wife Anni ate out in Cape Town in 2010 was shown in the Western Cape High Court on Wednesday.
Prosecutor Shareen Riley led her 12th witness, Zola Tongo, through the telephonic communication he had with Dewani and their movements on November 13, 2010.
Tongo, 34, transported the United Kingdom couple around Cape Town while they were on their honeymoon. He is serving an 18-year jail term for his role in Anni's murder in Gugulethu that night.
Dewani is accused of Anni's murder.
He has pleaded not guilty to the five counts against him, maintaining that the couple were the victims of a hijacking. The State alleges he conspired with others to stage the hijacking in return for R15,000.
Anni's body was found in the abandoned shuttle taxi in Khayelitsha the following day.
Xolile Mngeni was serving life in jail for firing the shot that killed Anni, but died in prison from a brain tumour two weeks ago. Mziwamadoda Qwabe is serving a 25-year jail term.
Hotel receptionist Monde Mbolombo was granted immunity from prosecution in exchange for testifying against his accomplices.
Riley went through phone records for Tongo's cellphone number. His calls and text messages triggered both a cellphone tower in Strand West and nearby Mosterts Bay.
Tongo called Mbolombo on the hotel's landline on November 13, 2010. He called Qwabe at 9.36pm the same day.
Tongo said he did not recognise the number, but remembered phoning Qwabe that night.
Twenty minutes later, Dewani phoned him and the call lasted 93 seconds.
A few minutes later, Tongo phoned Qwabe three times, Qwabe briefly phoned him back, and then Tongo spoke to Qwabe for 102 seconds at 9.59pm.
At 10.03pm, there was a text message to Dewani.
Tongo testified on Tuesday that he had a conversation with Dewani. Dewani and his wife were dining at the Surfside restaurant in Strand and Tongo was outside.
The court was shown surveillance footage showing the entrance of the restaurant. On the video, at 9.34pm, the couple enter a mall where the restaurant is situated. Dewani walks with his hands in the pockets of his suit next to Tongo, while Anni lags behind, her arms folded across her chest.
Another camera inside the mall shows Tongo leading the couple to the restaurant and then walking out by himself at 9.35pm.
He is seen on the inside and outside cameras chatting on his phone.
Deputy Judge President Jeanette Traverso asked that the correct time be placed on record as there was a time lag in the footage.
"I am told that it might be vitally important," she said.
Dewani was seen outside the restaurant, making a call at 9.56pm.
Tongo confirmed the pair had been speaking on the phone. The couple leave the restaurant at 10.25pm.
Riley said it was not in dispute that Dewani received a text message from Tongo asking about money.
"Do you remember if there was any discussions regarding money?"
Tongo said his accomplices wanted to know where their hit money would be. He said Dewani told him he would put the money in the pouch behind the front seat of Tongo's minibus.
He said this conversation took place over the phone.
The court was then shown footage from earlier that evening, when Tongo picked the couple up at their hotel to take them out, at 7.54pm.
Tongo's minibus is seen arriving at the hotel and parking, as he had testified.
Dewani and his wife stood in the foyer while Tongo reversed out of his parking and parked further away.
"I wanted to get rid of the dirt or rubbish that was in the motor vehicle. I was trying to throw away the dirty stuff and also set the child lock in my vehicle," he said.
The couple waited in the foyer, taking photos and posing for a photo. Anni seemed happy and smiled while a breeze whipped up the shawl around her shoulders.
Dewani watched the footage from the dock and wiped away a few tears.
Another camera shows them walking outside to Tongo's vehicle.
He opens the rear left passenger door for the couple and they drive away shortly afterwards.
Tongo handed himself to police on November 20, 2010 and a written statement was taken down at the Bellville South police station.
Riley asked why he handed himself in.
"Because what I did was wrong. Secondly, I was a fool. Thirdly, I was misled."
Dewani shook his head at Tongo's words.
