JOHANNESBURG: One month after a verdict in the Oscar Pistorius trial, South African justice is again under international scrutiny as prosecutors press a murder case against a British man accused of hiring local men to kill his wife on their 2010 honeymoon and make it look like a botched carjacking.

Murder suspect Shrien Dewani, who fought extradition from Britain for years, is not globally known like Pistorius, the double-amputee athlete who killed girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp, was convicted of the lesser charge of culpable homicide and faces sentencing next week. Also, unlike the Pistorius trial, the trial of Dewani is not being shown on live television.

Yet the case against Dewani, who pleaded not guilty Monday, launched another sensational courtroom drama involving the shooting death of a young woman, whose family desperately hopes the South African judicial system can deliver clarity four years after Anni Dewani died.

“It has been a period of torture for our family,” Vinod Hindocha, Anni Dewani’s father, said before the Cape Town trial started. “Now it’s up to the South African legal system to hear the case and obtain the full story of how my little daughter died.”
