The Honeymoon Murder: The Case Of Anni Dewani

Truly Criminal Podcast Podcast

Today’s case is one of the most polarising and controversial ones we’ve looked into.

In 2010, Anni Dewani and her new husband Shrien, set off on their 10 day honeymoon to South Africa. What started off as a picture perfect holiday, soon turned into a nightmare when Anni was kidnapped and killed. Soon, everyone involved would be pointing the finger at each other, leaving the events of what happened that night…still being questioned to this day.

UPDATE: One of the men convicted in her murder in 2010, Zola Tongo - the taxi driver on the night - has been granted parole. (March 2022)

According to a report in The South African:

“Tongo has a string of conditions to adhere to, as part of his parole.

 • Tongo has to find work

 • He is also not free to roam around as he pleased and will be placed under house detention

 • Tongo must also undergo social work and psychological treatment while on parole

 • He is barred from using or trading in any alcohol or drugs and can be subjected to random substance and drug tests”

We wanted to keep you all up to date and will continue to do so as and when more information comes to light.
