India born British millionaire Shrien Dewani, who is accused of plotting the murder of his wife on their honeymoon, will stand trial in South Africa in October if he is declared fit by mental health experts.

According to Daily Star, the Western Cape High Court expects the British businessman to answer claims that he paid three hitmen to kill his new wife in Cape Town in November 2010.

The businessman was extradited to South Africa from the UK in April.

Anni was shot dead as the couple travelled in a taxi on the outskirts of Cape Town in November 2010.
