New evidence has surfaced in the murder case of Anni Dewani. A series of text messages have been revealed expressing how she felt about her husband and the anguish she felt while she was with him. This is the first evidence to prove Anni was unhappy in her marriage, when she was murdered in a car hijacking in 2010.

Along with these texts, CCTV footage has emerged of the couple around the time of Anni’s murder. Footage taken only 24 hours before Anni’s death shows Dewani making a gesture that looks like he is mimicking a gun. This evidence, along with the text messages will likely play a key role in any court case in South Africa.

The messages were sent to Anni’s cousin Sneha in Britain. They read as follows:

August 5, 2010:

Miss you so much. Don’t want to be with these people. I hate them. Want to cry myself to death.

August 25:

Can’t understand why I’m crying all the time.

September 3:

Crying every day. I feel abandoned by everybody.

September 16:

Fighting a lot with Shrien. Told him I’m going home. Wish I never got engaged. Everyone tells me how fortunate I am – even my designer tells me he’s good-looking and that I am lucky. Absolutely sick. We’re seeing each other for three days and only fight.

September 21:

I don’t want to marry him. I’m going to be unhappy for the rest of my life. If I know [sic] news like this I would not have got engaged. Feels bad that everyone has booked their tickets. I’m not happy. One cannot even hug him. We have nothing in common. He’s a perfectionist.

September 22:

Told his and my parents I don’t want to get married.

September 23: ‘

We are going to sort everything out but I still feel the same way. it is not 100 percent good yet.

September 30:

Hate him. I am not happy.

A male prostitute based in Birmingham has also told police that he had sex with Dewani after he started his relationship with Anni. Leopold Leisser, known as the “German Master,” told police Dewani told him he was engaged to a woman:

He said she was a nice, lovely girl, and he liked her, but he could not break out of it because he would be disowned by the family.

Sneha told police in her statement that Anni told her she had tried to be intimate with Dewani, but he rejected her, she said Anni felt weird and awkward with him:

Anni and I speculated that maybe he was a virgin or perhaps not wanting to be intimate before marriage.

Dewani still denies any involvement in Anni’s murder, and says on the dates the male prostitute claims they met he was elsewhere.
