British millionaire Shrien Dewani, who has been accused of orchestrating the murder of his wife, Anni Dewani, during their honeymoon in Cape Town, looked very neat moments after being kicked out of the hijacked taxi he and his wife were travelling in, a policeman has told the Cape Town High Court.
Sergeant Cornelius Mellet, the State's ninth witness, who was on duty at the Harare police station in Khayelitsha on November 13, 2010 and attended to Dewani when he entered the police station, said on Tuesday that he was dressed in clean clothes and he couldn't see how the concerned person was involved in a robbery without a struggle having taken place, reported News 24.
He said that Dewani appeared emotional while talking to cops and asked repeatedly for someone to take him back to the Cape Grace Hotel in Cape Town. The police officer also said that he did not know the reason why he wanted to go back to the hotel so urgently.
Mellet noted that Dewani did not look as worried as he would have been had his wife disappeared and did not ask what the police was doing to find Anni, while driving back to the hotel.
Dewani has denied the charges claiming that the two were hijacked at gunpoint as they drove through Gugulethu in a taxi. The trial continues.
