Johannesburg – The inquest into Anni Dewani’s murder in South Africa will resume on October 9 in London with a list of unanswered questions for her husband Shrien.
Coroner Andrew Walker said in brief proceedings he did not think there would be any point to the inquest, because Anni’s death on November 13 2010 had already been investigated in South Africa. He could also not force anybody to travel to London to testify at the inquest.
Anni’s family believes the inquest is their last chance to find out what really happened to their daughter while the couple were on their honeymoon in Cape Town.
