If you missed Channel 4's Cutting Edge documentary on Thursday which featured the arrest of Westbury-on-Trym businessman Shrien Dewani in relation to the death of his new bride Anni in South Africa, you can view it here.

Mr Dewani, 31, of Passage Road, is currently receiving treatment in a mental health unit in Bristol while waiting to discover whether he will be extradited to Cape Town to stand trial for her murder.

The authorities suspect he paid hitmen to kill her during their honeymoon but he denies all allegations against him.

The Cutting Edge documentary was called Hunting Britain's Most Wanted, and looked at other cases handled by New Scotland Yard's extradition unit including that of Julian Assange, founder of the whistleblower website WikiLeaks, who is fighting a move to extradite him to Sweden for questioning in relation to a sexual assault investigation.

The cameras were there when Mr Dewani turned himself in at Southmead police station after the extradition team had been to an address in London with a warrant, looking for him.

He can be seen arriving at the police station, hood up, behind his brother. Meanwhile the Daily Telegraph carried an interview with Mrs Dewani's family at the weekend. 

Under the headline 'Anni will have no peace until she gets justice' they quote her father Vinod Hindocha, who lives in Mariestad in Sweden, as saying he cannot understand his son-in-law's reluctance to have his denials tested.

"He says he is innocent. This extradition process should not be taking place at all. He should take the first flight to South Africa and stand trial...Nobody has convicted him – he is just a suspect."

And Anni's older sister, Ami, says: "Anni's soul will have no peace until she gets this justice. That can only be done one way: by Shrien going to South Africa and standing trial."

    Ultimately there is a case to answer, and although Mr Dewani may be buying himself some time, eventually he will be standing in the Dock in Cape Town where justice will be served...
