Murdered bride's father appeals to May for extradition

The family of honeymoon murder victim Anni Dewani today made an emotional appeal for justice as they handed the Home Office an 11,000-signature petition demanding the extradition of her husband Shrien to South Africa to face charges.

Anni's father, Vinod Hindocha, said: "We are confident in the British legal system and that the Home Secretary will return Shrien to South Africa for questioning.

"It is nearly a year since my beautiful daughter was murdered on her honeymoon. I am prepared to carry on with my fight for justice for her even if it takes years. But it is very painful."

Anni, 28, died in a car hijacking on November 13
last year, the day after arriving in Cape Town on honeymoon. Last month a court ruled that her husband, 31, who denies murder, could be extradited.

Theresa May has until October 10 to decide whether to support the order, but if she does Shrien can appeal to the High Court.
