This is the moment honeymoon murder suspect Shrien Dewani is alleged to have handed a bag of cash to his taxi driver in return for orchestrating the killing of his wife Anni.
The previously unseen CCTV footage shows millionaire Dewani meeting Zola Tongo – who has been jailed for 18 years for organising the murder. It was recorded three days after Dewani’s bride was shot dead in South Africa.
The footage, taken from the five-star Cape Town hotel where the honeymoon couple were staying, shows the two men entering the internet room. Dewani arrives carrying a white plastic bag and, after a brief meeting, Tongo departs carrying the same bag at his side.
Tongo claims the bag contained 1,000 South African rand (about £82) in cash which was his payment for arranging the murder. But Dewani claims he owed the driver the money for his services as a tour guide.
The security camera footage from the Cape Grace Hotel has been obtained by the BBC’s Panorama team as part of a programme investigating the murder.
The footage also shows Anni, 28, and Dewani, now 32, kissing and embracing in an apparent display of affection just three hours before Anni was in the hands of her killers.
This contrasts with separate CCTV footage, previously obtained by this newspaper, showing Dewani and Anni walking yards apart that same night.
