DEWANI: 22nd November 21st Nov. Anni's funeral

MURDERED honeymoon hijack victim Anni Dewani's funeral was held yesterday - amid fears her husband could be targeted by her killers.

British care home tycoon Shrien Dewani, 30, is to fly back to Cape Town this week to help identify two men being held for beauty Anni's murder.

But he will be under armed guard as cops there fear he could be targeted in a bid to stop him.

The driver of the couple's hijacked taxi is already in hiding, after fearing he would be killed because he too had seen the gunmen's faces.

News that Shrien, from Bristol, is to return to Cape Town came as detectives promised "an explosive revelation" in the case.

A police source said yesterday: "The new information will show this was not a random hijacking."

Tragic Anni, 28, was killed after carjackers seized the cab she and Shrien, who married two weeks before, were travelling in.

Shrien and the driver escaped unharmed but the Swedish-born bride was found shot dead in the vehicle the next day.

She was laid to rest after a Hindu "prathna" prayer vigil in Stanmore, North London.
