South Africa: Husband arrested for bride's murder
This article is based in Johannesburg, South Africa where the murder took place. The arrest was in England, Shiren Dewani was the groom of the murdered bride. Honeymoon in Cape Town and the taxi is carjacked by gunman she is murdered he survives. Shiren Dewani age 31 was arrested, and his Swedish wife Anni age 28 was found shot in the neck in the taxi. The taxi driver Zolo Tongo was sentenced to trail as he was an accomplice getting payed 15.000 rand about $2,165 us dollars. Shiren needed a hit man and asked Zolo to arrange it, he agreed. "At the bail hearing today, Dewani's lawyer argued that the allegations by South African police had been made to protect the country’s tourism industry. The British tabloid the Daily Mail has reported that South African police have been under pressure to pin the murder on a non-South African, and accused police of leaking their suspicions about Dewani to the media."
Analysis, I believe that the crime was murder and Dewani belongs where he is, as well as the taxi driver due to being an accomplice. The whole setup seems legitimate but there could be other factors driving the motive. The rate of crime is increasing and perhaps people think it is easier to get away with stuff if they do the crime in another country far away.

I agree with you. He gets what he deserves. I believe this type of killing has happened in the U.S. with a husband trying to hire a hitman to kill his wife, but was caught by undercover police investigating in this potential crime.
I also agree that the husband is where he's supposed to be right now. Murdering his wife was not a good idea, not only his wife, but murdering anyone is a crime. Reading this reminded me of a incident that happened to one of my close friends mom. The Husband hired some guy to kill his wife so the husband can inherit her money, but the guy that he hired was a FBI agent and he arrested the husband and now he's in jail for like so many years. Killing someone or getting someone to kill someone are equivalent in crime. I don't think anyone is supposed to murder someone. So I'm glad the guy is put to jail.
