The London judge in the Shrien Dewani extradition hearing has ruled that the British businessman accused of having his wife murdered while on honeymoon in Cape Town is too ill to be at court.
Dewani’s legal team argued that it would be "positively inhuman" to keep him in the court room.
Dewani is said to be suffering from severe post-traumatic stress disorder. The court is expected to hear four days of evidence before deciding whether Dewani should be sent to South Africa to face trial
