The State has received a major setback in Anni Dewani's murder trial case in Cape Town with the High Court terming the evidence related to Shrien Dewani's sexuality "irrelevant."

Dewani's sexuality has been brought up time and again in the five-days of the trial and is an important component of the State's case against him, reported News 24.

The British millionaire has been accused of orchestrating the murder of his bride, Anni, during an apparently botched hijacking during their honeymoon in Cape Town in 2010.

He has pleaded not guilty to all five charges against him.
