Dewani extradition blocked
The High Court has temporarily halted British businessman Shrien Dewani's extradition to South Africa on mental health grounds.
Judge: Dewani's depression worsened after arrest
High Court judge Sir John Thomas said Dewani's depression and post traumatic stress had worsened after his arrest on December 7 2010 and on February 20 last year he took an overdose.
He was admitted to the Bristol Royal Infirmary and told staff in the A&E department that he did not want to live, but denied to others that he had attempted suicide, said Sir John.
