Shrien Dewani has always denied having his new bride Ani killed, | :00:19. | :00:25. | |
He was extradited from Britain to South Africa in April and | :00:26. | :00:30. | |
It's been a long time coming but finally the trial of | :00:31. | :00:38. | |
Shrien Dewani will begin in just under two months' time. | :00:39. | :00:42. | |
He was first arrested a month after Ani's death in 2010. | :00:43. | :00:46. | |
She'd been shot in the neck in the taxi they'd hired in | :00:47. | :00:49. | |
But it took another three years for the 35`year`old to be extradited. | :00:50. | :00:56. | |
He was diagnosed as suffering severe depression and was hospitalised | :00:57. | :01:00. | |
Today at the Western Cape Court, a panel of three psychiatrists | :01:01. | :01:06. | |
ruled that he is no longer suffering from a mental illness, | :01:07. | :01:09. | |

He also took an overdose of pain killers to help him sleep. | :01:28. | :01:32. | |

to noise ` so much so that he had to go and live in a campervan. | :01:36. | :01:40. | |
Since travelling to South Africa the panel found | :01:41. | :01:42. | |
his mental state had improved and he was often affable and articulate. | :01:43. | :01:47. | |
He was also able to follow a demanding daily routine and hold | :01:48. | :01:50. | |
The panel were also impressed with what they described as his | :01:51. | :01:55. | |
The findings were given outside the court. | :01:56. | :02:00. | |
The court has made a finding that the accused, Mr Dewani, is fit | :02:01. | :02:04. | |
The issues around his mental health have been resolved. | :02:05. | :02:11. | |
Therefore the state is now in a position to proceed with this | :02:12. | :02:15. | |
I have appointed a legal team to take this further. | :02:16. | :02:20. | |
