UK honeymoon suspect 'can be extradited to S. Africa'
British businessman Shrien Dewani should be extradited to South Africa to face trial for allegedly orchestrating the murder of his bride during their honeymoon in Cape Town in 2010, a judge ruled on Wednesday.
British businessman Shrien Dewani (R) arrives at Belmarsh Magistrates' Court sitting at Woolwich Crown Court in south London on August 10, 2011. Dewani should be extradited to South Africa to face trial for allegedly orchestrating the murder of his bride during their honeymoon in Cape Town in 2010, a judge ruled on Wednesday.
Lawyers for Dewani, 33, who has suffered from depression and post-traumatic stress disorder since the killing of his Swedish wife Anni, had argued that his mental health is too fragile.
But at a hearing at a London court, which was packed with Anni's relatives, judge Howard Riddle ruled that Dewani was well enough to be extradited although he still needs further treatment before a trial can take place.
South African officials welcomed the decision.
"It is not in question that Shrien Dewani will be returned to South Africa," Riddle said.
"Clinicians continue to state that Mr Dewani will recover. It may be a long time before Mr Dewani is fit to plead, but he may be closer to that point."
He added that Dewani, who is being treated at a psychiatric hospital, could receive further treatment in South Africa and be found fit for trial later.
Dewani's lawyers intend to appeal, a family spokesman said immediately after the ruling.
Anni Dewani, who like her husband was of Indian origin, was shot dead in a township outside Cape Town in November 2010 when the couple's vehicle was apparently carjacked.
Dewani denies any involvement in the killing.
A South African man, Xolile Mngeni, was jailed for life for the murder last December. Two other local men jailed over the killing allege that Dewani ordered the hit.
South African authorities have been seeking Dewani's extradition since December 2010.
He was arrested in Britain and released on bail, but British courts have delayed the extradition until now on the grounds of Dewani's serious mental illness.
South African authorities welcomed the ruling.
"It's great news. It's been a long struggle to try and get the last person to stand trial for the Dewani murder," said Bulelwa Makeke, spokeswoman for the National Prosecuting Authority.
"We wait for him to actually present himself in South Africa and then we'll take it from there," she told AFP.
"We will have to stick to all the commitments that we made to the UK courts. We told them that indeed he will receive fair treatment in South Africa."
Dewani has spent more than two years on mental health wards -- a far cry from his previous life as a wealthy executive for his family's chain of nursing homes for the elderly.
His mental health appeared to deteriorate rapidly after his arrest. In 2011 he overdosed on anti-anxiety pills, but his defence team insisted he was not trying to commit suicide.
His lawyers told a hearing in December that he was a "husk" of a man who suffered flashbacks of the night his bride was killed and was afraid to go outside.
Earlier this month, lawyers for South African authorities told a hearing that Dewani's mental health was improving and he had talked about returning to fight the case against him.
But the businessman's lawyers called for another six-month delay, arguing that he could suffer a relapse if he was extradited now.
His family said Wednesday he remained "unfit to be extradited or to face trial".
"Lawyers acting for Shrien Dewani will review today's judgment and lodge an appeal during which time Shrien will remain in the UK," they said in a statement.
"Shrien remains committed to returning to South Africa when his health would permit a full trial and when appropriate protections are in place for his health and safety."
Anni's sister Amy Hindocha said the family were satisfied with the ruling.
"We will fight this battle to the end and this battle has just begun," she said.

Facebook Q2 Earnings Beat Expectations With $1.81B In Revenue, Up 53%, Mobile Hits 41% Of Ad Revenue
Today Facebook reported its second-quarter financial performance, including revenue of $1.81 billion. Analysts had expected Facebook to earn $0.14 per share on a top line of $1.62 billion. The company’s revenue figure released today is an all time quarterly high for the firm. Facebook’s second-quarter revenue is up 53 percent on a year-over-year basis. Analysts had expected a 37 percent increase. In the quarter, Facebook had a net income of $333?million.?In its most recent sequential quarter, the first of 2013, Facebook’s revenue totaled $1.46 billion, and it earned $0.12 per share. Mobile income as a percentage of ad revenue totaled 41 percent, up 11?percent from the preceding quarter, when it totaled 30?percent. In the final quarter of 2012, mobile ad income was but 24?percent of the total advertising top line. Facebook has proven that it can monetize its growing mobile usage in a big way. Investors will be satiated in that concern. Facebook later noted that mobile revenue will soon outstrip desktop incomes. The company also reaffirmed that Instagram will monetize in the future, largely through advertisements. Frankly, in my view the 41% figure is quite impressive, and unexpectedly strong. However, we should not take as indicative that all desktop Internet giants will be able to monetize at similar levels in mobile settings. Facebook data on its users is nearly without compare, and likely provides it with a key competitive advantage in how it can deliver targeted ads to users on the go. The majority of Facebook’s revenue comes from advertising-related income. However, its payments and fee revenue totaled?$214 million during the quarter, up 11 percent on a year-over-year basis. On the usage front, Facebook demonstrated strong growth, with its daily active user tally rising 27?percent on a yearly basis to 699 million. Monthly active users now total 1.15 billion for Facebook, up 21?percent when compared to the second quarter of 2012. Finally, mobile monthly active users were up 51?percent compared to 2012, to 819 million. For more on Facebook’s usage metrics, TechCrunch’s Josh Constine has the fully skinny. Facebook’s capital expenses were down in the quarter, but it continues to suffer from margin pressure. In the second quarter, Facebook’s operating margin was 31?percent.

Cricket-Sri Lanka win rain-hit second ODI against South Africa
COLOMBO, July 23 |
COLOMBO, July 23 (Reuters) - Rain and an on-field injury which prevented South African opener Hashim Amla from batting spurred Sri Lanka to a 17-run win under the Duckworth-Lewis method in the second one-dayer on Tuesday.
Sri Lanka grabbed a 2-0 lead in the five-match series after rain played havoc with the schedule, delaying the start by 25 minutes before forcing further interruptions.
The hosts elected to bat first but struggled to reach 223 for nine wickets on a sluggish pitch.
South Africa were set a target of 176 from 29 overs under the D/L method but they suffered a major setback even before they could start their run chase as Amla injured his knee while fielding and could not open the batting.
Amla, who slipped and fell on his knee in the 43rd over, was taken to hospital for a precautionary x-ray.
In his absence, Robin Peterson was pushed up the order and while that meant he became the first spinner to open both the batting and the bowling for his country, he could not stop South Africa floundering as he perished in the opening over for three.
They slumped to 104 for five after 21 overs when rain returned for a third time with the tourists 17 runs short of a revised victory target of 121.
The wet pitch was hardly ideal for a limited-overs game and the 43 runs apiece from Sri Lanka's Tillakaratne Dilshan and Dinesh Chandimal were the highest individual scores.
Dilshan's knock off 64 balls comprised one four and no batsman struck a six during the 71 overs.
The wet outfield did not help either because many of the shots which would have gone for four stopped short of the ropes.
Man of the match Chandimal took chances and managed four fours off 51 balls while team mate Kumar Sangakkara made 37 off 60 balls with six fours but boundaries were hard to come by.
Morne Morkel (3-34) was again South Africa's top bowler picking up both openers and the wicket of Chandimal.
South Africa's fielding was an improvement on the first ODI but it came at a price when Amla jarred his left knee trying to stop a Chandimal boundary and was helped off the field limping.
Amla had returned to the side in place of Colin Ingram after missing the first ODI with a stiff neck.
The teams will now travel to Pallekele for the third and fourth ODIs scheduled for Friday and Sunday. (Editing by Ken Ferris and Pritha Sarkar)

Neural Regeneration Research
Diffusion tensor imaging fiber tracking with reliable tracking orientation and flexible step size can show white matter fiber bundles in the healthy corpus callosum. Researchers used two sets of human data to assess the performance of this method; one was from a healthy volunteer and the other from a patient with low-grade glioma. Results verified that this method was superior to the single-tensor Fiber Assignment by Continuous Tracking and the two-tensor eXtended Streamline Tractography for showing detailed images of fiber bundles. A recent study published in the Neural Regeneration Research (Vol. 8, No. 16, 2013) proposed this new method of reliable tracking orientation and flexible step size fiber tracking. This new directional strategy was defined to select one optimal tracking orientation from each directional set, which was based on the single-tensor model and the two-tensor model.
