The family of a woman murdered on her honeymoon have thanked South African authorities.

Anni Dewani had recently married Shrien Dewani, the co-owner of Gibraltar Care Village in Monmouth.

A statement issued last night (Wednesday 17th November) by PSP Healthcare said: "The family would like to express their immense gratitude to the South African police, not only for their swift apprehension and charge of the suspect but more over for their continued heartfelt support which all officers have exercised throughout this ordeal.

"The South African authorities, together with the consulates of Britain and Sweden have been a tower of strength.

"The family now requests privacy and time to attempt to overcome this tragic ordeal."
