Anni Hindocha and Shrien Dewani

About this episode

Newlyweds Anni Hindocha and Shrien Dewani jetted off to South Africa for their honeymoon after their traditional Indian wedding when disaster struck. After dining in one of the more dangerous outlying townships, the taxi they were in was carjacked. Shrien and the taxi driver escaped unharmed but Anni was shot and killed. But as investigators began to untangle what happened that night, nothing about the carjacking made sense — and attention quickly shifted to the people closest to Anni. Rumors, contradictions, shifting testimony, and international headlines soon turned a tragic murder into one of South Africa’s most controversial cases. <br /><br /><a href="https://patreon.com/lovemarrykill" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Support us on Patreon</a><br /><br />Merch Store is open until December 22, 2025: <a href="https://www.bonfire.com/store/love-marry-kill-store/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">https://www.bonfire.com/store/love-marry-kill-store/</a><br /><br />Sources<ul><li><a href="https://play.hbomax.com/video/watch/0b588375-8e51-4cd1-9b8e-332c45bb20a2/ce577af7-7850-443f-8c0f-e8913067bf8a" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">https://play.hbomax.com/video/watch/0b588375-8e51-4cd1-9b8e-332c45bb20a2/ce577af7-7850-443f-8c0f-e8913067bf8a</a> HBO Anni: The Honeymoon Murder</li><li>Newling, Dan.
