The sister of honeymoon murder bride Anni Dewani has said she wished she had told her to reconsider marrying husband Shrien.
Anni’s sister Ami Denborg, told Sky News that before the wedding, Anni threw the ring back at Shrien.
"She called me, I talked to her a lot that evening,” said Ami.
“She was saying a lot of things – 'It's not working well', and things like that.
"I thought she was just stressed out. Looking back, I should have told her ' All right, forget it, I'll support you, break this off'. Maybe she would have been alive today."
Shrien, 34 is accused of hiring three South Africans to kill his 28-year-old Swedish bride Anni in Cape Town in November 2010. He is to be tried in Cape Town next week for Anni's murder.
The businessman denies the charge, claiming the pair were hijacked at gunpoint during their honeymoon as they drove through the Gugulethu township in a taxi.
Shrien escaped unharmed, but his wife's body was found in the abandoned car the next day. She had been shot dead.
Three South Africans have been tried and convicted for their role in Anni's death. Shrien, who had returned to Britain, for three years fought extradition but ultimately was sent back to South Africa to answer the charges.
He was extradited in April on the understanding that if he is not found fit to face trial within 18 months, he would be returned to Britain.
Anni's father, Vinod Hindocha, told Sky: "I really hope we get to know what really happened. That's all we are asking for, tell us the truth. No father should ever go through what we are going through."
Her mother, Nilam Hindocha, said: "I felt there was something strange. She said 'I have a lot to tell you, I'll tell you when I'm back in Bristol'."
The prosecution is expected to argue that Shrien is gay and plotted to have his wife killed to escape an arranged marriage that he was pushed into by his family.
