Man pleads guilty in S. African honeymoon killing
::A spokesman for South African’s prosecution service says
one of two men accused of being hired by a British newlywed to kill his Swedish
bride on their honeymoon in Cape Town has pleaded guilty.
National Prosecuting Authority spokesman Eric Ntabazalila said Wednesday that
Mziwamadoda Qwabe has pleaded guilty to kidnapping, robbery, murder and
illegal possession of a firearm.
Qwabe had been accused in the shooting death of 28-year-old Anni Dewani,
whose body was found in an abandoned taxi in Cape Town’s impoverished
Gugulethu township in November 2010.
South African Xolile Mngeni still faces charges over the slaying.
Dewani’s husband remains in the United Kingdom pending an extradition hearing.
