His family is now planning to join with 28-year-old Anni’s family to create some good out of the tragedy, by building a school in India, where they have roots.
The two groups of relatives will fund the project using thousands of pounds in donations from well-wishers.
A close family member of Dewani’s said: “We’ve collected over £15,000 jointly between the families from people who wanted to pay tribute to Anni and that money’s going to be used to build a school in India in her memory.

The family member added: “Even people who didn’t know Anni have been donating.”
