Brit-Indian honeymooner arrested following heated argument in London clinic
April 12th, 2011 - 12:28 pm ICT by ANILondon, Apr 12 (ANI): Shrien Dewani, the Brit-Indian millionaire who has been charged with masterminding his wife’s murder during their honeymoon in Cape Town last year, has been arrested following a heated argument with another patient at ‘The Priory clinic’.
Dewani, who has been placed on suicide watch, was sent to a secure hospital. Police however, did not reveal whether Dewani had attacked anyone or was himself attacked, The Sun reports.
The incident was serious enough to be considered a breach of his bail.
The 31-year-old Indian-origin businessman is fighting moves to have him extradited to South Africa for trial.
The paper quoted a source close to the Dewani family as saying that the incident happened following a bad reaction to anti-depressants.
“Over the weekend he was loud and noisy. There were a number of violent outbursts. Doctors decided he’d be better catered for elsewhere,” the source added.
“He had a reaction to his medication which meant he was loud and noisy. There was no fight or argument but one female resident got in a heated discussion with him and taunted him, saying, ‘You should go back to South Africa’,” he added.
Dewani is said to be suffering post-traumatic stress over the death of his wife, Anni. Her body was found in a South African township after a carjacking, which Dewani had escaped.
His extradition hearing is scheduled to take place next month. (ANI)
