| Cleared Shrien Dewani returns to England | |
| (35 minutes later) | |
| Shrien Dewani has arrived back in England after being cleared by a court in South Africa of arranging the murder of his wife in 2010. | |
| Dewani, 34, left Gatwick Airport through a side entrance that was guarded by police before being driven away shortly before 07:00 GMT. | |
| He is believed to have flown in from Dubai rather than taking a direct flight from Cape Town to the UK. | |
| He was extradited in April for the trial, which was thrown out on Monday. | |
| Judge Jeanette Traverso cleared Mr Dewani after ruling the prosecution case that the bisexual care home boss from Bristol had arranged the death of his wife Anni was flawed. | |
| Armed police officers were on guard at the airport preventing reporters from approaching the exit used by Mr Dewani. | |
| He is believed to have flown into the UK on an Emirates flight that landed shortly before 06:30. | |
| Judge Traverso dismissed the case against Mr Dewani at the Western Cape High Court, describing evidence from a key prosecution witness as "riddled with contradictions". | |
| His wife's family are now considering whether to launch a civil action against her husband in the UK. |
