Dewani and late wife

A South African court cleared British businessman, Shrien Dewani, on Monday of charges that he paid hit men to kill his wife, while they were on honeymoon in Cape Town four years ago.

State prosecutors had argued that Dewani paid 15,000 Rand ($1,300) in a plot with taxi driver Zola Tongo and others to kidnap and murder his wife, Anni, in November 2010, charges he has consistently denied.
