Anni Dewani killer convicted

A South African man has been found guilty of shooting honeymoon tourist Anni Dewani in 2010.

Prosecutors said Xolile Mngeni was hired by Mrs Dewani's British husband Shrien Dewani to carry out the killing, which was made to look like a car hijacking in Cape Town's impoverished Gugulethu township.

In August, Mngeni's accomplice, Mziwamadoda Qwabe, pled guilty to charges over the murder.
