The extradition of honeymoon murder suspect Shrien Dewani after a long-fought legal battle brings the prospect of justice for his dead wife a "step closer", her family said yesterday.

Anish Hindocha, Anni Dewani's brother, said there were "so many different" questions to be answered over his 28-year-old sister's death in South Africa in November 2010.

Wearing a picture of Ms Dewani attached with a pink ribbon to his jacket, Mr Hindocha, appearing on ITV's Daybreak, spoke of the "nightmare" her family have endured over the past three years.

"It has been very difficult for my family.

"We are just focusing on this case at the moment and it is hard to even start making the grieving process final yet because there are so many questions we need answers to," he said.

"It has been a nightmare, I can't sleep at night, I can't even work - the only focus I have is getting justice for her.

"We hope we get it and now today he is getting extradited and that is one step closer towards what we are seeking for her, that is justice for her."

He was speaking as it was reported that 34-year-old Shrien Dewani was due to fly out of London's Heathrow Airport yesterday evening, scheduled to arrive in Cape Town this morning and being whisked straight to a court hearing.
