The husband of a woman who was murdered on their honeymoon in South Africa has been granted bail by the High Court.
According to the BBC, Shrien Dewani, a businessman from Bristol, was released from Wandsworth prison after the decision to grant him £250,000 bail.
His conditions include electronic tagging, home curfew and reporting to the police daily.
Dewani had been remanded in custody after South African authorities appealed against a British court’s decision to grant him bail.
He is suspected of conspiring to murder Anni, his 28-year-old wife from Sweden who was shot when the taxi the couple were travelling in was hijacked on the outskirts of Cape Town.
The taxi driver Zola Tongo told Western Cape High Court that he was offered 15,000 rand (£1,400) by Dewani to carry out the killing.
Dewani denies any involvement in the murder.
Counsel for the South African government, Ben Watson, told the hearing at the Royal Courts of Justice on Friday that "significant new evidence" against Dewani had come to light.
He told the court this included new CCTV film and independent evidence that Dewani had allegedly paid for the murder by using money he had acquired on the black market.
The Court ruled that there was "strong support" for the submission that Dewani would not flee as he genuinely hopes that the investigation will clear him.
A full trial at Western Cape High Court is due to begin at a later date.
