Dewani back in court for pre-trial hearing


British businessman Shrien Dewani is expected to appear in the Western Cape High Court again pn Tuesday, for a formal pre-trial hearing.

At his last court appearance on the 15th of August, Dewani was found fit to stand trial for the murder of his wife Anni, according to a mental health report.

Director of Public Prosecutions, Rodney de Kock said the accused was not mentally ill, and was not certifiable in terms of the Mental Health Act.

Dewani's lawyer Francois van Zyl said the mental health panel made a unanimous decision, including Professor Tuviah Zabow, who was appointed by the court as a psychiatrist for Dewani.

Dewani will go on trial on October 6.
