Dewani extradition to South Africa temporarily halted

The extradition of Shrien Dewani, wanted in South Africa for allegedly arranging the murder of his wife Anni during their honeymoon, has been temporarily stopped.

The High Court in London ruled that it would be "unjust and oppressive" to order Mr Dewani's extradition as long as he is suffering from mental illness.

The businessman, who is from Bristol, denies any involvement in his wife's killing in Cape Town 18 months ago.

Tom Symonds was in court.
