Cape Town, Oct 23 (ANI): Confusion loomed during the cross-examination of a man on trial for the murder of Indian-origin bride Anni Dewani in South Africa in November 2010.
Prosecutor Shareen Riley asked Xolile Mngeni, 25, about a series of events the weekend Dewani was hijacked, robbed, and killed in Cape Town.
According to News24, Mngeni got confused when she wanted to make sure he was not friends with his alleged accomplice Mziwamadoda Qwabe, who has been convicted of the murder and jailed for 25 years.
Mngeni said he only knew of Qwabe, because he and Mngeni's older brother had DJ-ed together.
According to the report, Mngeni, however, later conceded that they had chatted on occasion, when Qwabe visited his house sometimes to get a CD from his brother.
Anni was shot dead while on honeymoon in South Africa with her Brit-Indian husband Shiren, who is thought to have hired hitmen to kill his newly wed wife.
The murder in Cape Town was allegedly staged to look like a bungled kidnapping. (ANI)
