Honeymoon murder suspect Shrien Dewani's lawyers have reportedly demanded that charges against the British businessman be dropped following prosecution's failure to prove his guilt.
The defence argued that during six weeks of evidence, prosecution had failed to prove Dewani guilty of the alleged crime.
According to The Independent, South Africa's National Prosecuting Authority had spent more than three years fighting in the British courts to have Dewani extradited to stand trial, for what it said was the "hijack-gone-wrong" conspiracy hatched by him with three others to have his new wife Anni murdered during their honeymoon in 2010.
Dewani was flown out of the Briton out to South Africa and kept at a mental health unit by the authorities before he was declared fit to stand trial.
Dewani, who admitted to being a bisexual during the start of the trial, is accused to have got his own wife killed to escape the marriage.
The prosecution presented the evidence of his bisexuality, insisting that it was a "very powerful" lead in the case.
However, the judge dismissed it as irrelevant details of the businessman's varied sex life, including much of the evidence of a male prostitute going by the moniker of the German Master, who had been due to testify about three sadomasochistic sex sessions he had with Dewani, the report said.
