The family of honeymoon murder victim Anni Dewani will decide after Christmas whether to launch a civil action against her husband Shrien, who was cleared by a South African judge of arranging the death of his new wife.

British businessman Shrien Dewani will have to wait until December 8 to see whether a South African judge throws out charges that he organised the murder of his bride.

A judge in South Africa is expected to consider today whether the case against Shrien Dewani should be thrown out.

BRITISH businessman Shrien Dewani arranged his wife’s murder during their honeymoon in South Africa after confessing he needed to “find a way out of” his marriage.
