About this episode

The episode explores the murder of Anni Dewani during her honeymoon and the subsequent investigation that raised suspicions about her husband, Shrien Dewani.

In 2010, newlyweds Anni and Shrien Dewani arrived in Cape Town for what was meant to be a luxury honeymoon, but within days, Anni was found shot to death in a hijacked taxi in a crime that quickly made international headlines. What initially appeared to be a tragic robbery soon took a darker turn as investigators uncovered signs that the attack may have been planned. In Part 1 of Murder: True Crime Stories, Carter Roy examines the couple’s relationship, the events leading up to the night of the killing, and the early investigation that led to multiple arrests. As witness statements and new evidence began to raise questions about what really happened, suspicion shifted toward Anni’s husband, Shrien Dewani, setting the stage for a complex and highly scrutinized case.
