Husband accused of plotting wife's death on honeymoon pleads not guilty

 Another Oscar Pistorius???  We hope Not!!! A millionaire British businessman accused of hiring hit men to kill his new wife during their honeymoon in South Africa pleaded not guilty as his trial began Monday. Continue...


Shrien Dewani, 34, has denied orchestrating the killing of his wife, Anni, in Cape Town 

The slaying took place during a taxi ride through a township on the edge of the South African city, just over two weeks after the couple's wedding. 

The taxi driver, Zola Tongo, confessed within weeks of the bride's death that he had hired two men to kill her. In a plea deal with South African authorities, he said he was paid by Dewani to carry out the murder and to make it look as though the couple were the victims of a carjacking. 

Tongo was subsequently sentenced to 18 years in prison for his part in the killing. His two accomplices are also serving lengthy sentences for their role in the crime.
