Murder-accused British businessman, Shrien Dewani has been moved to a medium security psychiatric hospital in Bristol, England.

The 31-year-old faces extradition back to South Africa after being accused of orchestrating the murder of his wife, Anni, in Cape Town last year.

District Judge Howard Riddle renewed Dewani's bail, agreeing that Fromeside's secure environment meant his electronic tag was no longer necessary.

A full extradition hearing will begin on May 3 at Belmarsh Magistrates' Court in south east London.

The hearing will be split into two parts, with further time allowed for a psychiatric report on Dewani's condition to be carried out.
