About this episode
After suspicion fell on Shrien Dewani in the murder of his wife, Anni, the case quickly expanded into an international legal battle over whether he would be extradited to South Africa to stand trial. As prosecutors worked to build their case, the question of what truly happened on the couple’s honeymoon became even more contested. In Part 2 of Murder: True Crime Stories, Carter Roy examines the fight over Dewani’s extradition, the courtroom proceedings that followed, and the testimony surrounding Anni’s killing. The prosecution argued that the attack had been carefully orchestrated, while the defense challenged the credibility of key witnesses and the deals made in exchange for their cooperation. As the case moved toward a verdict, it left behind deep uncertainty about the truth. More than a decade later, the murder of Anni Dewani remains one of the most debated and controversial international true crime cases.
