Anni Dewani, Part 1: Gugulethu, South Africa

Episode 148 · Oct 08, 06:59 AM

Anni Dewani had just gotten married and was supposed to be on the trip of a lifetime—a honeymoon in Cape Town, South Africa. But late one night, a taxi ride took a terrifying turn. The car was hijacked. Anni’s husband made it out alive. Anni did not.
At first, it looked like a random and devastating crime. But almost immediately, questions began to surface. Stories would change. Accusations would be made. And what happened that night would become the center of an international murder case that would take years to unravel.
Over the next three episodes, we’re going inside the honeymoon, the murder, and the investigation that followed—where almost nothing is as simple as it first appears. This is Part One of the story of Anni Dewani.
Listen as we dive into South Africa, the case of Anni Dewani, and how to stay alive on vacation.
