:00:09. > :00:17.A young bride, Anni Dewani, on her South African honeymoon, hours
:00:17. > :00:24.before her death. Her wedding had been a lavish affair, her murder was
:00:24. > :00:29.squalid and remains a mystery. This CCTV, never seen before, shows her
:00:29. > :00:37.husband, Shrien Dewani, moments after learning his wife of just two
:00:37. > :00:44.weeks had been killed. When we found out that Anni had been shot,
:00:44. > :00:49.apparently I just started screaming hysterically. The same man that
:00:49. > :00:57.South African police they paid hit man to execute his wife. We know
:00:57. > :01:01.that he did partake in the killing of his wife. Anni's family are
:01:01. > :01:04.that he did partake in the killing devastated and they are desperate
:01:05. > :01:12.for Shrien to go back to South Africa and stand trial. He must give
:01:12. > :01:17.us answers, go back to South Africa and tell us what happened. In July,
:01:17. > :01:26.a British judge ruled that Shrien must go. But what evidence does
:01:26. > :01:29.South Africa have that Shrien Dewani was behind the killing? Panorama has
:01:29. > :01:37.obtained the police files and given them to leading forensics experts to
:01:37. > :01:41.review. Their findings are damning. I would veer towards an accidental
:01:41. > :01:47.discharge rather than a deliberate shooting. What the South Africans
:01:47. > :01:53.have not done is carry out experiments to prove it. They have
:01:53. > :01:57.made some guesses. This is not an investigation that would meet the
:01:57. > :01:59.standards of this country. There is simply a cloud of suspicion hanging
:01:59. > :02:04.over him rather than any evidence simply a cloud of suspicion hanging
:02:04. > :02:08.that he was involved. It raises serious doubts about the integrity
:02:08. > :02:13.of the South African criminal justice system, doubt is shared by
:02:13. > :02:20.some insiders. It is like we have to nail somebody, so let's just go for
:02:20. > :02:27.it. So is Shrien Dewani a cold-blooded killer or as he claims
:02:27. > :02:29.an innocent man. I had just got married to the girl of my dreams so
:02:29. > :02:50.why would I kill her? We are in Singolenathu Street, where
:02:50. > :02:57.the victim was found in the car, abandoned. Anni Dewani had been shot
:02:57. > :03:02.through the neck, left to bleed to death in the back of a hijacked
:03:02. > :03:13.taxi. It was hours before she was found.
:03:13. > :03:17.At an identity parade, two weeks after her death, three local men
:03:17. > :03:33.behind the killing were picked out. All three have since been convicted.
:03:33. > :03:38.But the South Africans believe that one man is missing from this
:03:38. > :03:47.line-up. Anni's husband, Shrien Dewani. The case against Shrien? He
:03:48. > :03:51.lands in Cape Town with Anni and a little more than an hour arranges
:03:51. > :03:58.his wife's murder with a taxi driver. 30 hours later, Anni was
:03:58. > :04:05.dead. The idea that Shrien organised the killing has generated huge
:04:05. > :04:09.interest all over the world. It has not only dominated headlines in
:04:09. > :04:11.South Africa... In fact South African police and prosecutors
:04:11. > :04:18.seemed to have made up their minds already. This is purely a criminal
:04:18. > :04:24.matter of somebody who murdered his wife when they should have been
:04:24. > :04:30.celebrating a honeymoon. But is this case really so clear-cut? Please
:04:30. > :04:36.enjoy your stay at the Cape Grace Hotel. Drawing a Panorama
:04:36. > :04:41.investigation into the killing, broadcast last year, I discovered
:04:41. > :04:47.significant cracks in the South African version of events. CCTV film
:04:47. > :04:56.at their hotel, the Cape Grace, revealed a couple seemingly in a
:04:56. > :04:59.loving relationship. In a way, this is the couple whose story has not
:04:59. > :05:05.been told in the accounts of these events so far. Until our programme,
:05:05. > :05:15.none of this CCTV had been shown in public before.
:05:15. > :05:21.Since Panorama reveals these pictures, we have gained access to
:05:21. > :05:31.our small and seen CCTV from the honeymooners' hotel. -- hours more.
:05:31. > :05:36.It gives insight into key moments of the case. But to really test the
:05:36. > :05:40.South African evidence against Shrien Dewani, you need to
:05:40. > :05:44.investigate the docket, the South African police's secret file on the
:05:44. > :05:49.murder of Anni Dewani. Panorama has obtained it. The docket contains all
:05:49. > :05:53.the prosecution's evidence, seen here for the first time. Video
:05:53. > :06:16.confessions from the gunmen. Scenes of crime photographs, witness
:06:16. > :06:21.statements, telephone and financial records. In fact, the entire South
:06:21. > :06:28.African prosecution case, according to leaked documents that Panorama
:06:28. > :06:33.has also seen. It is up to a judge to find Shrien Dewani guilty or
:06:33. > :06:38.innocent, but do the South Africans have credible evidence that he was
:06:38. > :06:46.behind Anni's killing? We put it to the test. The last fortnight of
:06:46. > :06:51.Anni's life began with their wedding and it was spectacular, lasting
:06:51. > :06:55.three days and costing upwards of £150,000. They had known each other
:06:55. > :07:03.for 18 months and been engaged for five. But Anni's family say that the
:07:03. > :07:07.smiles were asked. Things changed between the engagement and the
:07:07. > :07:13.wedding. There were problems within the relationship. He was
:07:13. > :07:21.controlling. And I think that she did not really like that. Anni
:07:21. > :07:25.herself revealed doubts as the wedding drew closer. The police
:07:25. > :07:30.files contained text messages that she was sending to a relative.
:07:30. > :07:40.Fighting a lot with Shrien. Wish I had never got engaged.
:07:40. > :07:50.The volatile state of the relationship forms a key part of the
:07:50. > :07:57.prosecution's case. The 28-year-old had said that she wanted a divorce
:07:58. > :08:03.just days before the honeymoon. But the couple flew to South Africa as
:08:03. > :08:06.planned, spending four days at the luxury Chitwa Chitwa safari lodge.
:08:06. > :08:31.While there, Anni texted again. Which sounds like a dramatic easing
:08:31. > :08:32.of the tension between them on the eve of the next stage of their
:08:32. > :08:43.honeymoon. The next day, Safari over, they flew
:08:43. > :08:49.to Cape Town, and now begins the chain of events that will end
:08:49. > :08:54.Anni's life and see Shrien accused of organising her murder. We will
:08:54. > :08:58.piece together that crucial 30 hours. As the couple left the
:08:58. > :09:04.domestic terminal, taxi driver Zola Tongo was among the crowd. 30 at the
:09:04. > :09:10.time, he had just one conviction for driving without a taxi permit. We
:09:10. > :09:15.have used an actor to read extracts from his full police statement. It
:09:15. > :09:21.has never been heard in public before. At the time, I was chatting
:09:21. > :09:28.to another taxi operator. Dewani approached us to ask where he could
:09:28. > :09:32.find a taxi. Tongo is the star witness for the prosecution. Having
:09:32. > :09:36.struck a plea bargain for a shorter sentence, he will testify that
:09:36. > :09:42.Shrien Dewani hired him to arrange the execution of Anni Dewani.
:09:42. > :09:47.Tongo's taxi was cheap and he was eager to be of service. Shrien
:09:47. > :09:53.Dewani was impressed. He spoke good English. The car seemed to be
:09:53. > :09:58.secure. Before his arrest in December 2010, Shrien Dewani spoke
:09:58. > :10:02.to the Sun newspaper about his wife's death. He drove us around the
:10:02. > :10:08.sites that there were between the airport and the hotel and we became
:10:08. > :10:12.quite jovial with him. It took Tongo about 25 minutes to drive the couple
:10:12. > :10:21.to their hotel. The Cape Grace on Cape Town's waterfront. While Anni
:10:21. > :10:26.went inside to check-in, Tongo says that Shrien Dewani, whom he had only
:10:26. > :10:31.just met, remember, hung back and said he wanted somebody taken off
:10:31. > :10:35.the scene. When he said that he wanted somebody to be killed, is
:10:35. > :10:41.said to him that they do not associate myself with such things,
:10:41. > :10:46.but I could call somebody in the township that could arrange it.
:10:46. > :10:52.Shrien Dewani stepped out to meet Tongo again for just under nine
:10:52. > :10:59.minutes. He maintains that he and Tongo simply discussed the couple's
:10:59. > :11:01.tour plans. When he said that he was willing to pay 15,000 rand and could
:11:01. > :11:06.pay it in dollars, he said that the willing to pay 15,000 rand and could
:11:06. > :11:10.person who had to be killed was a woman and she was arriving later
:11:10. > :11:16.that evening. If Anni was the target, why not simply identify her
:11:16. > :11:23.immediately, especially if he wanted her dead the next night? What it
:11:23. > :11:26.suggests is that he arrived in a foreign country with no
:11:26. > :11:31.preplanning, no understanding of how to go about this, and yet he simply
:11:31. > :11:35.asked the taxi driver that he has never met before and encounters
:11:35. > :11:41.randomly to engage in a conspiracy to kill his wife. Professor Fraser
:11:41. > :11:45.has reviewed the South African police files for us over three
:11:45. > :11:48.months. One of the top forensics scientists in the country, he is
:11:48. > :11:53.routinely called in by the Home Office to advise on high-profile
:11:53. > :11:58.murder investigations like the Damilola Taylor murder case. This is
:11:58. > :12:02.not an investigation that would meet the standards in this country. It is
:12:02. > :12:06.not what would be considered good practice. There are many things that
:12:06. > :12:16.fall a long way short of in effective investigation. After
:12:16. > :12:22.leaving the couple at the hotel, Tongo drove to the Colosseum hotel,
:12:22. > :12:28.20 minutes away from the Cape Grace. On the way, he rang the Colosseum.
:12:28. > :12:35.From the South African police files, we had this CCTV which show Monde
:12:35. > :12:39.Mbolombo, the receptionist, and during the telephone. He is the
:12:39. > :12:45.middleman, the link between Tongo and the men who shot Anni. Without
:12:45. > :12:48.him, the killing could never have happened, and yet Mbolombo has been
:12:48. > :12:54.given complete immunity from prosecution if he tells the truth
:12:54. > :13:00.about his role, but as we will discover, he is a liar. While Tongo
:13:00. > :13:05.was on his way to meet the middleman, we now know from unseen
:13:05. > :13:14.Cape Grace CCTV obtained by Panorama that Shrien left Anni in their room
:13:14. > :13:19.and walked out of the hotel. Over at the Colosseum, Tongo is pleased to
:13:19. > :13:24.see the receptionist, Mbolombo. He puts his hands to his head, a local
:13:24. > :13:30.sign of celebration, and they go outside. I informed him that I had
:13:30. > :13:37.picked up a client from the airport and that he wanted somebody taken
:13:37. > :13:43.off the scene and was willing to pay 15,000 rand. He said that he knew of
:13:43. > :13:46.a guy in a township and offered to contact him. According to their
:13:46. > :13:53.testimony, in less than two and a half minutes, this time killers
:13:53. > :13:56.Tongo and Mbolombo agreed to organise the execution. -- first
:13:56. > :13:58.time killers. A colleague is brushed aside when she asks what is going
:13:58. > :14:11.on. Is this really the start of a plot,
:14:11. > :14:16.as they claim, to have Anni killed? They are clearly up to something,
:14:16. > :14:22.but is it murder? In the back office, Mbolombo gets the number up
:14:22. > :14:27.on his telephone so that he can call an old friend, Mziwamadoda Qwabe, an
:14:27. > :14:40.unemployed 25-year-old from Cape Town's townships. Again, an actor
:14:40. > :14:44.reads his words. Like tong tong, Qwabe has struck a deal for a
:14:44. > :14:53.reduced sentence and will give evidence against Anni Dewani.
:14:53. > :14:59.He gave me his mobile phone number. He stated he want #ed 5,000 rand for
:14:59. > :15:02.organising Qwabe. Monde, the receptionist, denies wanting
:15:02. > :15:06.payment. There is a difference in getting money when somebody's been
:15:06. > :15:11.killed. I call that blood money. So I was not expecting anything from
:15:11. > :15:14.that. After Tongo leaves, Mbolombo seems
:15:14. > :15:18.more than happy about what's gone on.
:15:18. > :15:22.Does this look like a man who's just arranged a murder?
:15:22. > :15:28.The midp man who has no previous convictions will also testify
:15:28. > :15:31.against Anni Dewani in any trial. He still enjoys immunity from
:15:32. > :15:36.prosecution and remains a free man. The prosecution have got to be very,
:15:36. > :15:39.very careful with what witnesses they use because you are actually
:15:39. > :15:47.dealing with people who're criminals and they are going to be there to
:15:47. > :15:52.try and save their own bacon. Just about the time Tongo left the
:15:52. > :15:58.Colosseum Hotel, new footage reveals Anni Dewani returning to the Cape
:15:58. > :16:03.Grace. He'd been to a Bureau de Change, changing £800 into South
:16:03. > :16:09.African rand and he'd been shopping for a Red Rose for his bride.
:16:09. > :16:20.Five minutes after Shrien arrived back at their roam, Anni spoke to
:16:20. > :16:24.her parents. It wasn't her voice. It wasn't normal Anni. I thought,
:16:24. > :16:31.something's not OK. It was the last time they ever spoke.
:16:31. > :16:39.Across town, taxi driver Zola Tongo now back home called the hijacker,
:16:39. > :16:46.Qwab. Tongo told me there was somebody
:16:46. > :16:55.wanting to want somebody kill and wanted me to do the job. I was with
:16:55. > :17:00.my friend called Xolile Mngeni. Xolile Mngeni, the second gunman.
:17:00. > :17:03.He's the only one of those accused of killing Anni who's never
:17:03. > :17:08.implicated Anni Dewani and has rejected a plea bargain. At his
:17:08. > :17:12.trial last year, Mngeni was found guilty of being Anni's murderer, the
:17:12. > :17:17.evidence of Qwabe the other glaun was key.
:17:17. > :17:21.-- gunman was key. Mngeni and indiscussed it in detail.
:17:21. > :17:26.He suggested we agree to do the job for 15,000 rand.
:17:26. > :17:32.The prosecution's case is that in two calls, one lasting 79 seconds
:17:33. > :17:41.and one lasting 41, the taxi driver, Tongo, had hired Anni's killers.
:17:41. > :17:49.As the plot formed around them, new CCTV shows Shrien and Anni heading
:17:49. > :17:55.for the bar before going for a meal, a short walk from the hotel.
:17:55. > :18:02.The waitress who served the couple remembers their evening at this
:18:02. > :18:07.Sushi restaurant. Not I've served quite a few
:18:07. > :18:09.honeymoon tables and they are normally very much in love and
:18:09. > :18:14.kissing but it wasn't really the case here. The next time Clara-Jane
:18:14. > :18:18.went to serve them, Shrien Dewani wasn't there. She says Anni told her
:18:18. > :18:24.he'd gone to make a business call. A lot of people commented about this
:18:24. > :18:29.man who was gone, leaving this lady on their honeymoon.
:18:29. > :18:35.But new CCTV shows Shrien Dewani had left his phone at the hotel and went
:18:35. > :18:38.back to get it. As he arrived at his room, we now know from phone
:18:38. > :18:43.records, he discovered a text message from Tongo. Shrien then
:18:43. > :18:48.called the taxi driver, they spoke for five minutes and 26 seconds.
:18:48. > :18:53.There's really no evidence that directly implicates Dewani in this
:18:53. > :18:58.crime. But the evidence that is most convincing or suggestive is perhaps
:18:58. > :19:04.the best word, is the frequency and timing of the phone calls.
:19:04. > :19:11.So what did Anni Dewani and Tongo talk about? The couple's tour
:19:11. > :19:15.itinerary, or Anni's murder? I phoned Dewani that I'd spoken to a
:19:15. > :19:20.friend and he'd identified somebody who could do the job and he was
:19:20. > :19:25.willing to do it for Sa,000. -- 15,000. The person who is crucial to
:19:25. > :19:32.understanding Anni Dewani's engagement here is Anni Dewani hist.
:19:32. > :19:37.Only he can explain these suspicious calls. All the evidence here seems
:19:37. > :19:40.to suggest his involvement. Anni Dewani has offered to be interviewed
:19:40. > :19:46.by South African police here in the UK but so far, they've declined.
:19:46. > :19:50.Surely you must take up that offer, go and interview him and check up on
:19:51. > :19:55.what he has to say, then make a decision. You've got then his
:19:55. > :20:03.version of events. Is there sufficient evidence to carry on with
:20:03. > :20:09.this trial? New CCTV shows the couple got back
:20:09. > :20:12.to the hotel after 1 1. Given what he's accused of, a smiling Shrien
:20:12. > :20:31.makes an unfortunate gesture. Shrien Dewani did not gain
:20:31. > :20:35.financially from Anni's death. The South Africans believe there was a
:20:35. > :20:41.different motive. Shrien's sexuality.
:20:41. > :20:46.This is the German master, a male prostitute based in the Midlands,
:20:46. > :20:52.real name Leopold Leisser, who's given a statement saying Shrien was
:20:52. > :20:56.his client. The evidence for me is amongst the credible aspects of this
:20:56. > :21:01.case and perhaps the only evidence that in some way provides clear
:21:01. > :21:07.motivation for Shrien Dewani to be involved in this conspiracy.
:21:07. > :21:11.Leisser says he sees lots of married men. He's told of three sexual
:21:11. > :21:15.encounter with Shrien, the last a month before Shrien and Anni got
:21:15. > :21:20.engaged. He said that she was a nice, lovely
:21:20. > :21:25.girl and that he liked her, but that he could not break out of it in any
:21:25. > :21:34.way because he would be disowned by the family. He also said that he
:21:34. > :21:38.needs to find a way out of it. So this does fill in the search for
:21:39. > :21:42.motive? To be very clear about this, I think this provides sufficient
:21:42. > :21:45.motivation. But motivation isn't evidence of itself. So we'd still be
:21:45. > :21:51.looking for evidence of Shrien's direct involvement here.
:21:51. > :21:55.Whether or not Shrien Dewani is gay or bisexual, we can reveal medical
:21:55. > :21:56.records from just days before the honeymoon show the couple were
:21:57. > :22:15.actively trying for a baby. Another beautiful morning in Cape
:22:15. > :22:21.Town. On this, the day Anni died, they both appeared carefree as they
:22:21. > :22:32.headed down for a late breakfast. Tongo says he heard from Shrien.
:22:32. > :22:40.He called me at 11. 30, asked me to pick him up at the hotel. But phone
:22:40. > :22:47.records in the police doct -- docket show there was no call. We know this
:22:47. > :22:52.is simply not true. It so -- so it worries you that one thing Tongo
:22:52. > :22:56.says is not true. That worries you? A number of things that were
:22:56. > :23:01.inconsequential wouldn't worry me, but there are really quite a few
:23:01. > :23:09.things here which are plainly untrue.
:23:09. > :23:13.Half an hour after the phantom phone call, Tongo arrived at the Cape
:23:13. > :23:19.Grace to pick up Shrien. He asked me to take him somewhere
:23:19. > :23:24.with he could exchange dollars. Tongo took him to a black market
:23:24. > :23:28.money exchange up the road from the Cape Grace.
:23:28. > :23:38.The golden tuech Jewellers. -- golden touch Jewellers. The
:23:38. > :23:42.owner's told the police he exchanged exchange $15,000. If he exchanged US
:23:43. > :23:44.Dollars and if we add that to the pound sterling he'd already cashed
:23:44. > :23:50.up on honeymoon, he would have had pound sterling he'd already cashed
:23:50. > :23:55.21,500 rand, more than enough to pay for the killing.
:23:55. > :23:59.And yet the money trail could be a massive problem for South African
:24:00. > :24:02.prosecutors. There's enormous questions around
:24:02. > :24:07.the money. It's one of the holes in the case in terms of a credible
:24:07. > :24:11.conspiracy. After Shrien picked up the 10,000
:24:11. > :24:15.rand, about £900, there's no proof it was ever handed over to the
:24:15. > :24:21.gunman. The money just seems to vanish. It
:24:21. > :24:27.no longer seems to feature either in this physical carrying out of the
:24:28. > :24:32.crime or the post-crime benefits. We know from the data roaming
:24:32. > :24:36.records of Shrien Dewani's mobile phone that Tongo headed straight
:24:36. > :24:41.back to the Cape Grace Hotel. During the ten minute journey, Tongo
:24:41. > :24:48.claims Shrien told him how he wanted the hijack carried out.
:24:48. > :25:00.Both he and I should be thrown out of the vehicle, in which time he was
:25:00. > :25:04.robbing the client. This is an unfathomable thing of the case.
:25:04. > :25:09.There wasn't time between the men to plan anything tight and so much
:25:09. > :25:15.apparently was left to chance. Dewani offered to pay me 5,000 rand
:25:15. > :25:20.after the job and he confirmed he'd pay 15,000 in cash. Tongo's former
:25:20. > :25:27.boss told us the taxi driver's monthly wages were two to three
:25:27. > :25:34.times the 5,000 rand or £450 Anni Dewani was apparently offering him.
:25:34. > :25:38.I'd pick him and the lady up from the Cape Grace Hotel at 7. 30 that
:25:38. > :25:42.evening. After Tongo dropped Shrien off at the Cape Grace Hotel, he
:25:42. > :25:47.picked up the middle man, Mbolombo, and gave him a lift to work at the
:25:47. > :25:51.Colosseum's reception. I asked Tongo why he needed a hitman and he said
:25:51. > :25:57.that there was a guy that wanted to have his wife murdered.
:25:57. > :26:06.Is this really the first time Mbolombo has asked why Tongo needs a
:26:06. > :26:09.hitman? Tongo's phone rings and he said this
:26:09. > :26:15.is the guy on my phone and all he says is "yes, I'm on my way, I'm on
:26:15. > :26:21.my way. " Then he pushes down the phone and says, "Eish, this guy does
:26:21. > :26:27.not trust me". Yet the phone records in the police files reveal Anni
:26:27. > :26:34.Dewani made no such call to Tongo. So, Mbolombo is lying. Anni Dewani
:26:34. > :26:37.now had 10,000 rand, £900 in cash. So why might he have needed so much
:26:37. > :26:43.now had 10,000 rand, £900 in cash. in it wasn't to pay Anni's killers?
:26:43. > :26:47.We've learned that before he was a suspect, he told people he'd been
:26:47. > :26:53.planning to surprise Anni. His plan - a romantic helicopter trip the
:26:53. > :26:56.next day. There's this suggestion that it was
:26:56. > :27:00.for a helicopter trip and it may well be that it was for a helicopter
:27:00. > :27:05.trip, but of course, the police have not followed that process through.
:27:05. > :27:10.CCTV from the police file revealed that, as Tongo drops Mbolombo off at
:27:10. > :27:12.work, the 10,000 rand cost of a helicopter flight is all the staff
:27:12. > :27:29.work, the 10,000 rand cost of a are talking about.
:27:29. > :27:43.As Tongo and Mbolombo walk in, it becomes clear Mbolombo is central to
:27:43. > :28:04.what's being discussed. Are the rich people the Dewanis? And
:28:04. > :28:09.why does Mbolombo believe a man is cornered? Does this previously
:28:10. > :28:15.unseen footage answer questions about why Anni Dewani changed up so
:28:15. > :28:21.much cash? It's in the police files, but have they looked at it closely?
:28:21. > :28:26.They never stopped and paused and thought about the fact that this
:28:26. > :28:29.conspiracy may have linked back to someone else and they could have put
:28:29. > :28:34.these things to Anni Dewani and asked him why he went and got that
:28:34. > :28:39.money and crucially, where it is now.
:28:39. > :28:44.After five minutes hanging around the Colosseum, Tongo left for the
:28:44. > :28:50.Townships to meet the hijackers, Qwabe and Mngeni for the first time.
:28:50. > :28:56.What was discussed was Tongo telling he wants the wife to be killed in
:28:56. > :29:00.this way. The plan was for Qwabe and Mngeni to hijack the taxi in a
:29:00. > :29:04.Township that night. Yet there's no evidence Tongo told
:29:04. > :29:09.Anni Dewani. We know from phone records in the
:29:09. > :29:13.prosecution file that not once after the gunmen met Zola Tongo did the
:29:13. > :29:18.taxi driver ever call Shrien and tell him the plan to kill Anni was
:29:18. > :29:22.in place for that night. Is it really credible that Shrien, a man
:29:22. > :29:27.described by Anni, her family and his own family, as a control freak
:29:27. > :29:35.and perfectionist, would have left so much to chance?
:29:35. > :29:39.The night of Anni's death. Shortly after six, the newlyweds emerge from
:29:39. > :29:45.their room and head for the hotel bar.
:29:45. > :29:47.The couple pose for pictures. And kiss each other.
:29:47. > :30:02.Repeatedly. Meanwhile over at the Colosseum
:30:02. > :30:07.hotel, the fixer Mbolombo, who has only admitted to putting Tongo and
:30:07. > :30:18.the gunmen in touch, is revealed by CCTV to be far more involved.
:30:18. > :30:23.Telephone records show that he is talking to Tongo. We have enhanced
:30:23. > :30:26.the sound for translators. What emerges raises serious questions
:30:26. > :30:43.about the decision to grant him immunity.
:30:43. > :30:53.Mbolombo seems to be in charge, so why is he still a free man? At the
:30:53. > :30:56.Mbolombo seems to be in charge, so Cape Grace, 7:30pm came and went
:30:56. > :31:03.with no sign of Tongo. Shrien Dewani Cape Grace, 7:30pm came and went
:31:03. > :31:07.called him. The driver was delayed, so we just had another drink and
:31:07. > :31:12.carried on chatting. But packed macro and his legal team give their
:31:12. > :31:23.very different account. -- but Tongo. He called me in an agitated
:31:23. > :31:26.state to find out where he -- where I was. He insisted that the act be
:31:26. > :31:38.perpetrated that very day. This is CCTV of that phone call.
:31:38. > :31:44.Shrien Dewani is holding the telephone to his left ear, Anni's
:31:44. > :31:49.side. He shows no sign of agitation, and according to Tongo he
:31:49. > :31:55.insists on the merger went Anni is sitting right beside him. Tongo
:31:55. > :32:00.finally arrives half an hour late. If Shrien Dewani is expecting Anni
:32:00. > :32:04.to be killed, he shows no sign of it. He seems happy to take
:32:04. > :32:09.photographs of his wife. They look like lovebirds. Tongo confirms the
:32:09. > :32:16.couple's relaxed mood continued like lovebirds. Tongo confirms the
:32:16. > :32:20.his taxi. They both appeared to be happy. They laughed a lot. They
:32:20. > :32:22.instructed me to first drive around town as he wanted to see what
:32:22. > :32:30.instructed me to first drive around city looked like at night. So now he
:32:30. > :32:35.embarks on what should be a pleasant social tour of the city on an
:32:35. > :32:40.evening out, but apparently during the course of this his wife is going
:32:40. > :32:44.to be killed. It almost beggars belief. It is simply not something
:32:44. > :32:50.that most people would find credible. The hijack was supposed to
:32:50. > :32:54.take place in Gugulethu township, shortly after Tongo picked the
:32:54. > :32:59.couple up. But he says that when he drove by, the gunmen were not there.
:32:59. > :33:04.The hijacker Qwabe said they had agreed to call it off, but records
:33:04. > :33:08.in the police docket show that telephone calls between the
:33:08. > :33:33.middleman, the gunmen and the taxi driver continued.
:33:33. > :33:41.Moments later, as they arrived at a restaurant in the beach resort of
:33:41. > :33:45.Strand, the taxi driver Tongo claims that Shrien Dewani became furious
:33:45. > :33:49.that the murder had not yet happened. I walked with them to the
:33:49. > :33:54.restaurant. At the entrance, the lady went in and Dewani turned round
:33:55. > :33:59.and spoke to me. He appeared stressed and threatened me. If the
:33:59. > :34:03.job was not done that evening, he said he would kill me. But this CCTV
:34:03. > :34:19.covers the restaurant entrance and shows the three of them walking
:34:19. > :34:22.towards the restaurant together. But it is not Anni who goes in first as
:34:22. > :34:24.towards the restaurant together. But Tongo claims, it is Shrien. A waiter
:34:24. > :34:27.has confirmed this to Panorama and there is no argument. There is a
:34:27. > :34:29.damning statement made by one co-conspirator which could have been
:34:29. > :34:39.tested to some degree by at least seeing if it was feasible on CCTV.
:34:39. > :34:42.If the time on the CCTV is correct, telephone records in the police file
:34:42. > :34:48.show that eight seconds after disappearing from view, Tongo calls
:34:48. > :34:52.the middleman. So in just eight seconds, Shrien Dewani is supposed
:34:52. > :34:59.to have threatened Tongo and demanded Anni's murder that night.
:34:59. > :35:03.What we know from the CCTV is that this could not have happened, and
:35:03. > :35:09.yet the South African police are either unaware of that or have
:35:09. > :35:16.simply disregarded it. The hijacker Qwabe, who has agreed a
:35:16. > :35:22.plea-bargain, it says that Tongo called him. He says that he is still
:35:22. > :35:28.in Somerset. He called me and wanted to know if I had arranged for the
:35:28. > :35:35.guys. Records show that Shrien Dewani did call Zola Tongo at
:35:35. > :35:38.9:56pm. They spoke for 93 seconds. Shrien's account is more
:35:38. > :35:43.straightforward. I then called for him to come and pick us up. We came
:35:43. > :35:50.out of the restaurant and he was waiting. After driving away from the
:35:50. > :36:00.server side, the taxi driver claims that he texted Shrien about the cash
:36:00. > :36:04.from the hit men. -- Surfside. I told him not to forget the money by
:36:04. > :36:08.text, and then he replied by text to say that the money was in an
:36:08. > :36:13.envelope behind the front passenger seat. The records confirm that Tongo
:36:13. > :36:22.did text Shrien but there is no record of what it said, or that
:36:22. > :36:27.Shrien ever replied. It is just another example of evidence that
:36:27. > :36:31.apparently incriminates Shrien Dewani from Tongo that has nothing
:36:31. > :36:35.to back it up or appears to be completely untrue. If we had the
:36:35. > :36:40.actual telephone calls themselves, or the text messages, it would
:36:40. > :36:44.completely unlock this case, in my mind. But we understand that experts
:36:44. > :36:51.cannot retrieve the actual text messages, so it seems that the South
:36:51. > :36:54.Africans are relying on Tongo's word for what was said. The driver
:36:54. > :37:00.suggested that we should drive through the township and we had no
:37:00. > :37:09.reason to distrust him at all. Tongo drove them into the heart of
:37:09. > :37:16.Gugulethu. And into the hands of one -- Qwabe and Mngeni. We were scared
:37:16. > :37:21.and stunned. I grabbed Anni because she was starting to cry. I was
:37:21. > :37:26.instructed to open the doors and then they drove off. I played along
:37:26. > :37:30.because I knew we were not really being hijacked. Shrien Dewani says
:37:30. > :37:35.that Anni did not want to give up the wedding and engagement rings. I
:37:35. > :37:41.told her not to worry that we could buy new rings and that we should
:37:41. > :37:48.just get out of here. Shrien Dewani handed over all the cash he had on
:37:48. > :37:54.him, 4000 rand, £350. The films confession of one of the gunmen
:37:54. > :37:55.confirms this, an account which was filmed before Shrien Dewani became a
:37:55. > :38:20.suspect. -- filmed confession. Not long after the taxi was
:38:21. > :38:25.hijacked, Zola Tongo got out here. Before Zola Tongo got out, he told
:38:25. > :38:32.us that the money was behind the front passenger seat in a pouch. The
:38:32. > :38:40.hijackers drove off into the darkness of Caer Lytchett township.
:38:40. > :38:44.-- Khayelitsha township. The driver then said that they just wanted the
:38:44. > :38:50.car and they would not hurt us but they would let us go separately.
:38:50. > :38:58.Again Mngeni is the only one to confirm Shrien Dewani's account, and
:38:58. > :39:05.the only one not to accept a plea bargain. Shrien Dewani and Mngeni
:39:05. > :39:10.had no contact before or after, but their accounts tally. Around half an
:39:11. > :39:18.hour after the car was hijacked, Shrien was ordered to get out. I was
:39:18. > :39:21.holding on to Anni and wanted to go together. Again his account mirrors
:39:21. > :39:35.Mngeni's. Why ask the gunmen to let them go
:39:35. > :39:56.together if he wanted Anni dead? They held a gun to my head and said
:39:56. > :40:01.I had to leave or they would shoot me. Shrien Dewani was now alone in a
:40:01. > :40:07.township notorious for gun violence. The car just sped off and
:40:07. > :40:12.my heart was racing. Luckily he stumbled into this man, local
:40:12. > :40:19.Government auditor Simbonile Matokazi. He was pacing up and down
:40:19. > :40:27.the road in panic. I thought that he was crying. He called his cousin, a
:40:27. > :40:34.police officer. He says that Shrien became frantic that the police took
:40:34. > :40:38.so long to arrive. When I found out that he was a suspect, I was a bit
:40:38. > :40:48.surprised because I don't think this guy had killed his wife.
:40:48. > :40:55.After a fruitless search for Anni, police took Shrien Dewani back to
:40:55. > :40:59.the Cape Grace Hotel. He looks like a distraught man on previously
:40:59. > :41:07.unseen CCTV, shuttling back and forth from a couple's room to police
:41:07. > :41:14.who gathered in the hotel's internet room. The taxi driver Zola Tongo was
:41:14. > :41:16.also at the hotel. I heard the policemen referring to the lady as
:41:16. > :41:19.his wife, and it was the first time policemen referring to the lady as
:41:19. > :41:26.that I realised that the lady that he wanted us to murder what his
:41:26. > :41:30.wife. Sophie had no idea that Anni was Shrien's wife, even though he
:41:30. > :41:38.had picked them up from the airport and driven them around for hours? --
:41:38. > :41:43.he had no idea. The police were convinced that she would be found
:41:43. > :41:45.alive because they just wanted the car. Anni's last moments are
:41:45. > :41:54.difficult even to imagine. She was killed not long after Shrien
:41:54. > :42:04.had left the taxi. Qwabe says that She was killed not long after Shrien
:42:04. > :42:13.he was driving and that Mngeni shot Anni. His recollection seems at odds
:42:13. > :42:24.with this being a planned murder. He shot. Why was not expecting it. It
:42:24. > :42:29.gave me quite a fright, you see. Mngeni claims that Qwabe took the
:42:29. > :42:40.gun, and shot Anni in a struggle for her handbag from the passenger door.
:42:40. > :42:49.The gunmen dumped the car here in Khayelitsha township, leaving Anni
:42:49. > :42:52.lying across the back seats. They stole her handbag, the couple's
:42:52. > :42:57.lying across the back seats. They mobile telephones, designer watches
:42:57. > :43:05.and jewellery. Police valued the hall at £8,000, six times the price
:43:05. > :43:11.of the alleged hit. Two of Anni's rings were recovered, one beneath
:43:11. > :43:16.her body and £25,000 engagement ring hidden in the rear seat. If this was
:43:16. > :43:20.murder made to look like robbery, why not take the rings? If it was
:43:20. > :43:22.simply an execution, wouldn't the hit man have stayed to check that
:43:22. > :43:46.she was dead? Crime scene video has allowed us to
:43:46. > :43:54.recreate the position in which Anni's fully closed body was
:43:54. > :43:59.discovered. -- fully clothed. A single shot passed through her left
:43:59. > :44:05.hand before entering her neck, fatally damaging her spinal-cord and
:44:05. > :44:08.severing major blood vessels. The South Africans claimed that the
:44:08. > :44:14.forensic evidence proves that she was carrying against the back-seat
:44:14. > :44:17.and that Mngeni took aim from the front passenger seat, claiming that
:44:17. > :44:22.he deliberately shot her with the gun barrel five to ten centimetres
:44:22. > :44:27.from her body, meaning her death was not an accident. We asked leading
:44:27. > :44:33.forensic scientists to review all of the evidence in the police docket.
:44:33. > :44:38.Would it stand up to scrutiny? Was she cowering back in her seat as the
:44:38. > :44:44.South Africans claim? Was she in a defensive position when she was
:44:44. > :44:48.shot? There is no pathological evidence to support that. Home
:44:48. > :44:56.Office pathologist Doctor Shepherd takes a very different view to the
:44:56. > :44:58.South Africans. There is no evidence of any blood spattered against the
:44:59. > :45:02.seat around the site of recovery of the bullet. If she had been pushed
:45:02. > :45:06.back against it, as the bullet exited her body, it would have
:45:06. > :45:11.caused damage and splatter around that point and there is none. Though
:45:11. > :45:17.she is leaning forward, or sitting forward on the edge of her seat. It
:45:17. > :45:25.surprises me that the scene of crime people have not considered it.
:45:25. > :45:35.If Anni was leaning forwards, can the South Africans be sure the gun
:45:35. > :45:40.was held at a distance from her? The size and shape of the soot on the
:45:41. > :45:45.back of her hand would indicate very close range, potentially less than 5
:45:45. > :45:49.cm. Until its closure last year, Mark Mastaglio was the leading
:45:49. > :45:53.firearms expert at the Home Office Forensic Science Service.
:45:53. > :45:58.If we talk your analysis of the facts, it makes it look more likely
:45:58. > :46:03.that this gun went off in a struggle where it was right up against her.
:46:03. > :46:07.Is that right? Yes, I think that's a fair statement. What the South
:46:07. > :46:10.Africans have not done is to carry out any experiments to support the
:46:10. > :46:15.conclusions. They've made some guesses. They were sloppy? I think
:46:15. > :46:19.this is a major flaw in the legislate investigation.
:46:19. > :46:24.What about the murder weapon? Could it have gone off accidentally? There
:46:24. > :46:29.seems to have been no examination of the puss toll to determine whether
:46:29. > :46:32.it had a propensity for accidental discharge. Could it go off in a
:46:32. > :46:36.struggle for instance? There are standard tests you you carried out.
:46:36. > :46:41.All we have is a statement stating that the gun was in working order.
:46:42. > :46:47.If tests were not done to rule out accidental shooting, is the South
:46:47. > :46:50.African view supported that it was a planned murder? If it was a
:46:50. > :46:54.deliberate shot, I would have expected the shot in the head, maybe
:46:54. > :46:59.over the heart, not one that struck the neck. It's an unusual place for
:46:59. > :47:05.an assassination. So on that basis alone, and it's a
:47:05. > :47:08.very weak bit of evidence, I would veer towards an accidental
:47:08. > :47:15.discharge, rather than a deliberate shooting.
:47:15. > :47:25.Last November, Xolile Mngeni was found guilty of being the man who
:47:25. > :47:28.shot Anni. Despite his filmed confession,
:47:28. > :47:32.Mngeni had pleaded not guilty and Despite his filmed confession,
:47:32. > :47:37.denied being involved. He was jailed for life without parole.
:47:37. > :47:43.But are the South Africans right to say the forensics prove Mngeni was
:47:43. > :47:50.Anni's culler? Was the gunman in the front passenger seat?
:47:50. > :47:54.If the conclusion is they think it's a certainty it was from the front
:47:54. > :47:59.passenger seat, there are other likely options. Criticism can be
:47:59. > :48:03.levelled because they haven't considered alternative positions.
:48:03. > :48:08.Could the man Qwabe, given a plea bargain by the state, have been the
:48:08. > :48:12.gunman? Anni is looking towards the drivers side of the car? Is she
:48:12. > :48:13.looking out of the door? I don't know, but she's looking that way at
:48:13. > :48:19.looking out of the door? I don't the time she's shot.
:48:19. > :48:24.Did the South Africans miss opportunities to put the identity of
:48:24. > :48:29.Anni's killer beyond doubt? It seems they failed to collect
:48:29. > :48:34.properly or even to analyse all the forensic samples taken from the taxi
:48:35. > :48:39.for traces of gunshot residue. Who had the gun, who fired the gun,
:48:39. > :48:42.were they in the front seat, were they sitting in the back of the
:48:42. > :48:48.vehicle? We don't know on the evidence we've seen. Pf
:48:48. > :48:53.One of the UK's leading experts on gunshot residue, Angela Shaw, found
:48:53. > :48:56.no evidence the hijack hijackers hands or clothes were tested, but
:48:56. > :49:02.it's the lack of sampling in the taxi that concerns her most.
:49:02. > :49:06.The samples they did analyse were taken from the rear seat and from
:49:06. > :49:11.the inside of the door panels. This really does not provide enough
:49:11. > :49:14.information to establish where the firearm might have been sitting in
:49:15. > :49:19.the car. So you are saying when a gun is fired, clues go everywhere
:49:19. > :49:25.and a lot of them weren't even looked at? In this instance, no,
:49:25. > :49:30.there was a very limited approach. So you have got on the face of it, a
:49:30. > :49:36.modern technological organisation that in fact, it's a policing system
:49:36. > :49:40.that's content to use confessions and individual witness evidence
:49:40. > :49:44.against others and all we know in this country is that we've had some
:49:44. > :49:49.very big miscarriages from cases of this type.
:49:49. > :49:55.When the gunmen abandoned the taxi, they say they fled into nearby scrub
:49:55. > :50:04.land to split the takings. But they disagree on how much they got.
:50:04. > :50:10.The driver, Qwabe, gave his version of the money trail last year in
:50:10. > :50:15.return for his plea bargain. Mngeni took the money off me behind
:50:15. > :50:24.the passenger seat. He found that it was 10,000 rand, not 15,000 rand.
:50:24. > :50:27.But Mngeni makes no mention of the 10,000 rand. The only one of the
:50:27. > :50:31.accused not the claim Anni Dewani was paying them says they shared
:50:31. > :50:40.only the cash they stole from him at gun point.
:50:40. > :50:47.And there's evidence to support that as Mngeni spent just under 2,000
:50:47. > :50:51.rand on trainers and clothes the day after Anni's killing.
:50:51. > :50:56.So what happened to the missing 10,000?
:50:56. > :51:01.It's not at all clear if this money was in the vehicle despite lots of
:51:01. > :51:04.talk about it being in the cubby hole. The money just simply has
:51:04. > :51:19.never been seen anywhere along the line.
:51:19. > :51:24.New CCTV from Sunday morning shows Shrien talking the call telling him
:51:24. > :51:40.Anni was dead. When we found out that Anni had been
:51:40. > :51:42.shot, apparently I just started screaming hysterically and dropped
:51:42. > :51:47.the phone. Police, a doctor and family friends
:51:47. > :51:55.were with Shrien in the moments after he learnt his wife was gone.
:51:55. > :52:00.I was just so hysterical when they told me. I just couldn't think
:52:00. > :52:04.straight. The behavioural doctor gave me some
:52:04. > :52:17.medication. The police wouldn't let me see her.
:52:17. > :52:24.The cameras capture Shrien's shifting emotions in the hours after
:52:25. > :52:30.Anni's death. Some ten hours afterwards, smiling on the phone to
:52:30. > :52:35.a friend. Next day, his distress is visible as
:52:35. > :52:44.he leaves for the mortuary to identify Anni's body.
:52:44. > :52:50.Before leaving South Africa, Shrien Dewani had one final meeting with
:52:50. > :52:55.Zola Tongo. Seen here in white, the driver was
:52:55. > :53:01.still a witness, not a suspect. I met up with Dewani when I received
:53:01. > :53:07.1,000 rand as payment for my role in orchestrating the murder. Holding a
:53:07. > :53:12.white plastic bag, Shrien meets him in the lobby and they enter the
:53:12. > :53:17.Internet room which has no cameras, although other guests are in there.
:53:17. > :53:21.After just over a minute, Shrien although other guests are in there.
:53:21. > :53:25.leaves minus the bag. Tongo ten seconds later leaves with the bag
:53:25. > :53:32.under his shirt. He heads straight to the gent's.
:53:32. > :53:36.The bag contained an envelope which contained 1,000 rand. I realised
:53:36. > :53:42.that Dewani had not paid me the full 5,000 rand as he previously agreed.
:53:42. > :53:48.Tongo left the hotel with the bag in clear view. He says he went looking
:53:48. > :53:52.for Shrien having realised he'd been short changed but CCTV reveals that
:53:52. > :54:00.to be untrue. I had no further contact with Dewani
:54:00. > :54:04.after that. Another lie. Phone records and CCTV show Shrien called
:54:04. > :54:10.him an hour and 40 minutes after giving him the bag. Top go's
:54:10. > :54:16.testimony makes no mention of that 54 second call. That's the sixth
:54:16. > :54:23.time the CCTV contradicts crucial evidence in his sworn statement. So
:54:23. > :54:28.was Shrien Dewani short changing the man who'd organised Anni's murder
:54:28. > :54:36.or, was the 1,000 rand, £90, simply payment for his services as a taxi
:54:36. > :54:40.driver? Tongo was arrested a week after Anni's death.
:54:40. > :54:45.The very next day, the taxi driver agreed a plea bargain with
:54:45. > :54:49.prosecutors, a lesser sentence in return for evidence against Anni
:54:50. > :54:53.Dewani. The speed surprised some senior
:54:53. > :54:58.legal figures. It seemed to me that the prosecution
:54:58. > :55:03.service was under some political pressure to get a result as soon as
:55:03. > :55:08.possible. Even Tongo's jail sentence was
:55:08. > :55:13.agreed that weekend. Seven years off a 25-year sentence. He could be out
:55:13. > :55:19.in 2020. Anni's father had still to approve the deal.
:55:19. > :55:23.The prosecutor asked me, Vinod, do you approve of this, and I said yes,
:55:23. > :55:28.I want to know the truth, what happened to my Anni.
:55:28. > :55:33.Just two weeks after Tongo's arrest, the South African High Court rubber
:55:33. > :55:42.stamped it all. Sentence you to 18 years.
:55:42. > :55:46.Shrien was now officially a suspect. Tongo's lawyer is satisfied South
:55:46. > :55:51.Africa's NationalProsecuting Authority or NPA, acted properly.
:55:52. > :55:56.The NPA must be satisfied that it's sending the right message and the
:55:56. > :56:02.charge of course at the end has to endorse that it is in fact in the
:56:02. > :56:10.interests of justice. Others are wary.
:56:10. > :56:16.A sentence was imposed without ever seeking to check the voracity of the
:56:16. > :56:21.allegations against the other conspirators. In South Africa,
:56:21. > :56:25.things are not happening as they should. I don't believe the
:56:26. > :56:29.prosecuting authorities are checking up on their evidence beforehand.
:56:29. > :56:35.It's like, we've got to nail somebody, to let's just go for it.
:56:35. > :56:39.But why apparently so little interest in establishing whether the
:56:39. > :56:44.taxi driver and the hotel receptionist were telling the truth?
:56:44. > :56:51.Could fears for South African tourism have played a part?
:56:51. > :56:57.It's certainly a thought, a preferable outcome to have a finding
:56:57. > :57:04.that this was a murder that was arranged between Tonga and a foreign
:57:04. > :57:12.visitor, rather than evidence of rampant criminality in Cape Town.
:57:12. > :57:15.We put all our findings to the South African authorities. They say it
:57:15. > :57:19.would be improper to engage with Panorama on the merits of the case
:57:19. > :57:24.as trial by media would violate Shrien Dewani's right to a fair
:57:24. > :57:27.trial. I'd want to assure all our people in
:57:27. > :57:33.trial. South Africa and around the world
:57:33. > :57:38.that our justice system is fair and Mr Dewani will get a fair trial.
:57:38. > :57:41.Anni Dewani remains suctioned under the Mental Health Act as he has been
:57:41. > :57:43.since five months after Anni's death. In July, a British judge
:57:43. > :57:45.ruled that while not yet fit to death. In July, a British judge
:57:45. > :57:49.plead, he should return to South death. In July, a British judge
:57:49. > :57:52.Africa where there are no juries to stand trial.
:57:52. > :57:56.He's appealing. If convicted, he faces life
:57:56. > :58:00.imprisonment. The key witnesses, three men, all involved in Anni's
:58:00. > :58:06.killing, who've all done deals with the state.
:58:06. > :58:10.If you were him, would you go anywhere near South Africa? I
:58:11. > :58:15.wouldn't. Not given the quality of investigation as seen by the South
:58:15. > :58:19.African police. Anni's family have publicly condemned this programme as
:58:19. > :58:25.trial by TV. They want Shrien Dewani tried in the South African courts.
:58:25. > :58:28.You must give us the answers, you must go to South Africa and tell us
:58:28. > :58:36.what happened and why. Every single day is a nightmare for us. It's
:58:36. > :58:42.torture. The CCTV shows Shrien Dewani leaving the room he shared
:58:42. > :58:46.with Anni for the last time. Within weeks, he would be a public hate
:58:46. > :58:50.figure, identified as the man who'd ordered his wife's murder on their
:58:50. > :58:55.honeymoon. Clearly, there are questions for
:58:55. > :59:01.Shrien Dewani to answer, but can justice be done, or has it already
:59:01. > :59:05.been undone by incompetence, flawed evidence and lies?
