by Benson Agoha

”Shrien Dewani is already in the holding cell at the Western Cape High Court where his trial will start shortly”, adding “There is already a jostle of journalists, camera crew and public at the court entrance.”

Shrien Dewani in Court in Sourth Africa for murder of
his new wife Anni during their honeymoon in 2010.

With the above statement posted on its facebook page, ‘JUSTICE 4 ANNI’ set the page on `fire’ even before the trial begins.

Dewani was extradited to South Africa after the High Court ruled on January 31, 2014 that "in the interest of Justice and that of Anni's family", there should be no further delay in going ahead with the trial.

The Courts order was predicated on certain conditions surrounding the state of health of Shrien Dewani, who had fought vigorously against extradition to South Africa.

When British millionaire Shrien Dewani arrived in court to stand trial, accused of murdering his wife during their honeymoon, many heaved a sigh of relief, because considering how long he has battled extradition to South Africa, many had though a trial will never take place.

Shrien 34, Weston-on-Trym, denies plotting to kill new wife Anni during their honeymoon.

The trial is a closed-door event and only accredited media will be allowed to attend. There is no overflow courtroom, nor will it be televised. Only Live tweeting and blogging are allowed and so, we are relying on live tweeting and blogging by JUSTICE4ANNI.

Live reports being filed in from South Africa by JUSTICE4ANNI include the following:

Shrien Dewani as said to have arrived and “looked sedated on arrival and entered his cell without any drama.”

Karen Allen of the BBC confirmed arrived saying “#dewanitrial Im at the High Ct CT for start of trial many thought would never be heard in SA. Dewani arriving early - media massed outside”.

This trial, a sure front-page event after the recent trial of Oscar Pistorius who shot and killed his girlfriend on Valentine Day in 2013, will hopefully shade light into what actually happening on that day in 2010.
