It is the extraordinary story of how one family has coped with seeing their hopes for their daughter's future being so cruelly extinguished; how they tried to live with the aftermath; their efforts to see justice done; and, ultimately, their attempts to reconcile themselves with the court's verdict and a future without their beautiful daughter, Anni.

On Saturday, 13 November in 2010, while on honeymoon in South Africa, newlyweds Shrien and Anni Dewani, from Bristol, were kidnapped at gunpoint in Gugulethu, a township near Cape Town. Shrien was released unharmed by his kidnappers, but only a few hours later Anni's brutally murdered body was found in the back seat of the taxi she had been travelling in. She had been shot in the neck. As the news broke, Anni's loving family were faced with the horrific reality of the loss of their beloved daughter in the most tragic and brutal circumstances. But worse was to come. As the investigation into her murder began, the family quickly had to confront the possibility that Anni's death might have been orchestrated by the one person she should have been able to trust above all others: her husband.

Anni Dewani: A Father's Story was purchased from Mirror Books in London.
