Killer in the honeymoon murder trial dies

Source: Omaha World Herald-AP

JOHANNESBURG (AP) — The man convicted for the murder of a woman killed on honeymoon in Cape Town has died, announced South Africa's Department of Correctional Services.

Xolile Mngeni, who was convicted for the murder in 2010 of Anni Dewani, died in a hospital unit of a Cape Town prison.

South African prosecutors argue that the woman's husband, Shrien Dewani, conspired with Mngeni and two other men to kill his wife.

Dewani, who has pleaded not guilty to charges ranging from murder to kidnapping, said he and his wife were hijacked at gunpoint while on a nighttime drive through a Cape Town township. Dewani said he was forced out of the car and the alleged assailants drove off with his wife still in the backseat of the car. The car and the body of Anni Dewani were found the next day.
