Shrien Dewani (35), was cleared in 2014 for the allegations of murder of his wife, Anni Dewani, while on their honeymoon in Cape Town, in 2010.
However, it is said that Dewani is allegedly expected to be publicly questioned for the first time, when Anni Dewani's inquest resumes. While on trial in South Africa, Shrien Dewani did not have to testify in court.
Anni's father, Vinod Hindocha is hoping that the coroner, Andrew Walker will call Dewani as a witness. Hindocha said, “There are so many unanswered questions that need to be put to [Dewani]. This will be our last chance to find out what really happened. It's our last shot at justice.”
It is said Andrew Walker will be making a decision at a hearing on 9th September 2015.
If Dewani is summoned, he will be questioned under oath by the coroner first, and then by the lawyer representing Anni's family.
As per the Ministry Of Justice's guidelines, “where relevant, the coroner will warn a witness that he or she is not obliged to answer any question which might incriminate him or herself.”
