Shrien Dewani went shopping rather than attending blessing of Anni's body Dewani is seen with police in the lobby of the Cape Grace Hotel where he and his wife, a Swedish engineer, were staying before they were carjacked on their way back from dinner on November 13, 2010. His father-in-law, Vinod Hindocha, is sitting slumped in an armchair, his head resting in his hand. In contrast, Dewani sits down and opens a laptop in front of him. He then leafs through local newspapers carrying a picture of the blood-smeared taxi his wife's body was found in, before checking his phone and laptop and talking to Captain Vinesh Lutchman, the first detective assigned to the case. Captain Lutchman is seen to pass a newspaper to Mr Hindocha, who slowly folds it to hide the front page picture of his daughter's murder scene, and returns to his original position. The court heard that moments before the clip was filmed, Mr Dewani met Zola Tongo, the couple's taxi driver, and handed over a plastic bag containing R1,000 (£65) in cash. Shortly afterwards, Tongo turned state witness and told police Dewani had paid him to find two hit men to murder his wife, agreeing to give evidence against the Bristol businessman in return for a reduced sentence. Dewani denies any involvement in his wife's murder, and said the money handover - which was also captured on CCTV - was his way of repaying the taxi driver for his services and some compensation for his lost taxi. At the time the footage was taken, Tongo was not a suspect in the case. He has since been jailed for 18 years. Captain Lutchman said that Dewani made no mention of the money he paid to Tongo. In another CCTV clip, filmed the day before, Dewani is seen standing with Captain Lutchman as the officer receives a phone call from Tongo. Dewani asked if he could speak to the taxi driver, the detective told the court on Thursday. The defendant is then seen walking away with the handset out of the officer's hearing. Francois Van Zyl, Dewani's barrister, told the court this week that his client paid R15,000 (£850) to staff at the Cape Grace Hotel, and R500 (£32) to Captain Lutchman, as well as dispensing thank you cards, after the shooting. Captain Lutchman said he received the thank you card but denied receiving money. Cross examining the officer, Pieter Botha, another defence lawyer, told Captain Lutchman that the defendant had chosen to go shopping rather than join his wife's family at the mortuary ceremony, as "he simply didn't feel up to it" - having identified her body the previous day. Dewani denies five charges including murder and kidnapping.
