Case dismissed due to unreliable prosecution witnesses, so not innocent as such.

Ironic as he fought so hard not to be extradited there to face trial.

Well yes, innocent. In the eyes of the law, at least.

1) That is innocent
2) That isn't irony

It's an interesting case.

The witnesses involved have already been found guilty of the murder.
The witnesses testimonies are apparently riddled with lies and half-truths.
One of the witnesses involved was granted immunity if he talked. He talked, the judge thinks he was more involved than he said on the back of that, and has revoked his immunity! That kinda goes against the whole immunity part of immunity, doesn't it?
The defendant talked to one of the them before the murder, on the phone, but we don't know what they talked about.

I wonder what really did happen and what the truth is!

Well your immunity only works if you tell the truth doesn't it.

Doubt we will ever know? Maybe he wife's family could do a private prosecution? That would be expensive I guess as if he comes back to the UK they would have to fund another potential extradition case to get him back to South Africa before that can start

Really hard to say, its possible that the witnesses killed her randomly then lied about him to get better sentences, that wouldn't be the unheard of.

Also possible that he had her killed as she was going to expose his gay lifestyle, there is still a great deal of pressure on coming etc in parts of the Asian community.

As I understood it, it was because he told the truth that his immunity was revoked. i.e. beforehand he said he wasn't involved. He was offered immunity. He then said he was involved and told them stuff. His immunity has been revoked as he was involved.

I could be wrong though, I haven't been following this really.
