<p>A businessman fighting extradition to South Africa, where he is accused of hiring a hitman to kill his wife, is due to appear in court.</p>
<p>Shrien Dewani, 31, faces trial overseas on charges that he ordered the murder of 28-year-old Anni on their honeymoon in Cape Town last November.</p>
<p>Flanked by several supporters and his legal team, he arrived at Belmarsh Magistrates&#8217; Court in south east London for a bail hearing.</p>
<p>Dewani did not attend the last hearing in the case as his legal team said he is suffering from severe post-traumatic stress disorder and clinical depression.</p>
<p>He was also admitted to hospital at the weekend after suffering a reaction to sleeping pills amid rumours, strongly denied by his family, that he had attempted to commit suicide.</p>
<p>The South African authorities have requested that Dewani be extradited from the UK to answer allegations made against him in court.</p>
<p>Mrs Dewani, from Sweden, was shot when a taxi the couple were travelling in was hijacked in Gugulethu on the outskirts of Cape Town on November 13. She was found dead in the back of the abandoned vehicle with a bullet wound to her neck after cabbie Zola Tongo drove the newlyweds to the township.</p>
<p>He claimed his vehicle was hijacked and he and Dewani were ejected before Mrs Dewani was driven away and killed. In a plea bargain, Tongo claimed Dewani offered him 15,000 rand (£1,400) to arrange the incident.</p>
<p>Tongo, 31, from Bothasig, was sentenced to 18 years in jail for murder, kidnapping, robbery with aggravating circumstances and perverting the course of justice.</p>
<p>Xolile Mnguni, 23, and Mziwamadoda Qwabe, 25, who are charged with murder, kidnapping and robbery with aggravating circumstances, were scheduled to appear in court on Friday.</p>
