London, Oct 1 (ANI): Brit-Indian honeymooner Shrien Dewani has lodged an appeal against an order in London that he can be extradited to South Africa over his wife's murder.
The High Court challenge comes after British Home Secretary Theresa May signed an order for Shrien's extradition, The Mirror reports.
May's decision came after District Judge Howard Riddle ruled at Belmarsh Magistrates' Court in south east London last month that Dewani should be sent to South Africa to stand trial.
Dewani is accused of masterminding his wife Anni's murder during their honeymoon in Cape Town last November, which he denies vehemently. axi driver Zola Tongo, who has admitted his part in the crime, claimed in a plea agreement with prosecutors that Dewani ordered the carjacking and paid for a hit on his wife.
Dewani is believed to be suffering from severe post-traumatic stress disorder. (ANI)
