Media camp outside Shrien Dewani's Bristol home awaiting his return

Former murder suspect Shrien Dewani has arrived back in the UK after being cleared of plotting his wife's death on their honeymoon in South Africa four years ago.

He flew into Gatwick early this morning. Media are camped outside his home in Bristol, awaiting his return.

Mr Dewani was extradited to South Africa in April, having suffered from severe post-traumatic stress and depression. His trial began in October.

But earlier this week at the Western Cape High Court, Judge Jeanette Traverso dismissed the case after criticising the quality of the prosecution's case.
