The Anni Dewani Murder Case

Am I wrong? I think that something is fishy here. They stay at a classy Hotel. The hotel has its own shuttle service. Why didn't they use this service? Why didn't the driver alert the police as soon as he was let go? Why didn't the husband call the police as soon as he was let go? Sound strange.
 
who called the driver/car? did they hail a taxi when they stepped out the hotel doors or was it called to the hotel?
 
The hotels shuttle service would probably not go anywhere on demand, as they apparently required. But it would certainly be interesting to know how they came into contact with this particular service, which on the surface looked OK, the vehicle was quite nice.
 
Fair enough, we do not know this detail. Was just trying to establish whether the original intention was robbery because then they would've taken more than just the couple's valuables; they could've easily just made the car disappear for a while - after all, the car itself had been operating with a false registration and the police have only discovered that now.

Maybe senseless wasn't the right word; was more thinking of motive. Murderers usually kill their victims for a reason; that's what I meant. Don't want to speculate as to the reason this women was murdered but what I know is that there is one.
That's assuming the criminals were calm and collected when in fact, although they may appear to be in control, they could just as easily be amped up and making quick decisions without a lot of consideration. And if she was killed by a single gunshot it is quite possible the shot was unintentional.

Dewani owes millions

The firm run by the British businessman whose bride was killed in Gugulethu is £6.25 million (about R70 -million) in debt, a British tabloid has reported.

According to The Sun website, Shrien Dewani - back in the UK to organise the funeral of Anni - is facing a a cash crisis with his PSP Healthcare company.

The care home chain he set up with his brother and father in 2005 owes £4 million just in bank loans, the report said. Figures for 2008 to 2009 reveal net losses doubled to £822 000 in a year.

This year's returns are overdue.
 
ok, say he suggested to the driver or someone else he wants to off his wife and knowing that this is the Crime City of note he arranges the whole thing but does not realise that the police were too quick on the take and better then expected. now he is in the poo and if these guys in custody are involved and turn states witness he is fried.

Another possibility is that:
He sort out an unlisted driver as an accomplice (a listed driver is likely to come with lots of problems, including a car with a tracking device and trackable registration), probably recommended by someone he knows in SA.
He then arranges for a pick up from this driver and drive around town, working out the details when the wife went to the loo to powder her nose.
Gugulethu was chosen because it is easy o access it from the highway and is notorius, but there is good argument to seek out the night life in Gugs, even though it does not exist.

welcome to the forum by the way.

His one alibi is the words he uttered " SHE wanted to go......", turning this into "they were in the wrong place at the wrong time" and no one is held accountable, unless by a miracle someone gets caught which has happened.
 
Only if there is excessive insurance on her life - otherwise not !

As was said, being deeply in debt gives one a motive. Even the fact that the victim's life was insured, still only speaks to motive. The SAPS must still prove their case (via forensics/eyewitness/etc.)

Legally speaking, that is not an alibi, Wayne.

An alibi is a defense showing that the suspect could not have committed the crime in question. Example: If I can prove I was not at the scene of the crime at the time the victim was killed, I have an alibi.
 
New Initative

It is a new South African hospitality venture

Called

"SNUFF TOURS"

:erm:
:twisted:
 
Well guys when this gets to court all 35 pages of making up conspiracies will be useless. But it is fun :D

I don't think he killed her myself, police have let him go almost straight away and they definitely know more than we do.
 
Assumption

THAT

Is a very very dangerous assumption

Very hard to say, because we do not have the info that the SAPS have. If I absolutely had to venture a guess, the driver would be more likely to be involved.

As one of the previous posters mentioned, it would be very interesting though to find out where the Dewanis got hold of this shuttle service and why they did not use that of the hotel, or at the very least ask the hotel for a recommendation for a reputable service provider. If you can afford a 5 star hotel, you can surely also afford the best in transport.

The way I read the articles, the hotel said they were not at all involved in the travel arrangements.
