Lusanda Bill
20 September 2011

One of the men accused of murdering British honeymooner Anni Dewani in Cape Town last year is due to appear in court today.

Xolile Mngeni is alleged to have fired the shot that killed Dewani.

He however recently underwent surgery for a brain tumour and may be declared unfit to stand trial.
Dewani’s husband, Shrien, stands accused of orchestrating the murder and is currently facing deportation from England.

Mngeni will appear in the Wynberg Magistrate’s Court later today.
