The Western Cape High Court heard yesterday that British businessman Shrien Dewani will be added as the fourth accused in the honeymoon murder of his bride Anni in 2010.

The State says that Dewani is scheduled to join the other two accused in the dock when the trial does get underway.

It is Dewani’s prolonged battle against extradition to South Africa that is delaying proceedings.

The remaining accused, Zola Tonga was jailed for 18-years for his part in the murder, after a plea bargain.
