Dewani extradition halted on mental health grounds
The High Court has temporarily halted British businessman Shrien Dewani's extradition to South Africa on mental health grounds.
Two judges in London ruled that it would be "unjust and oppressive" to order the removal of Dewani, who is accused of arranging the contract killing of wife Anni in Cape Town in November 2010 during their honeymoon.
He has been diagnosed with severe post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and severe depression and his lawyers argue that his health and life will be at risk if he is extradited.
