LONDON – A British businessman accused of arranging for his wife to be murdered while they were on honeymoon in Cape Town can be extradited to face trial in South Africa, a court ruled yesterday.

However, the judge said the decision on whether to extradite Shrien Dewani (31), who has denied conspiring to kill his wife in a fake car-jacking last November, would need to be approved by the British home secretary.

Anni Dewani (28) was shot when the taxi the couple were travelling in was hijacked on outskirts of Cape Town. – (Reuters)
