Shrien Dewani's

Moving Bristol businessman Shrien Dewani to an open rehabilitation ward may make him more of a "flight risk", a court heard.

Mr Dewani accused of ordering the murder of his wife Anni in South Africa and is being held at a secure mental hospital suffering from depression and post-traumatic stress.

Magistrate Howard Riddle said that this meant he had an increased "flight risk", and said that there was a possibility that this could prevent him from being moved.

Mr Dewani is currently being held at Fromeside Clinic, a secure mental health hospital where he is subject to a curfew and must be accompanied by staff when he leaves.

A doctor has recommended moving him in order to aid his recovery.

Mrs Dewani was shot when a taxi in which the couple were travelling was hijacked in Cape Town during their honeymoon.
