Brit-Indian honeymoon murder-suspect Shrien Dewani has been extradited to South Africa from the UK to face trial over the death of his wife, Anni.

The millionaire businessman was flown from Bristol Airport after a legal battle against extradition on the grounds that he has mental health problems.

According to news24, Scotland Yard said Dewani was taken from Fromeside Hospital in Bristol to the airport accompanied by officers from the Metropolitan Police Service Extradition Unit.

Officers were met at the airport by South African officials who escorted him on the flight to South Africa.

He is expected to appear in the Western Cape High Court in Cape Town on Tuesday in connection with the murder of his wife Anni in 2010, the report added.
