Dewani accused was out on bail over other crimes including murder

One of the men arrested for honeymooner Anni Dewani's murder in Cape Town last month was facing several other serious charges and was out on bail at the time of the killing, National Police Commissioner Bheki Cele said

Cele said Xolile Mngeni, who appeared alongside two co-accused in the Wynberg Regional Court, was facing "a slew of charges against him from previous cases".

"He was on bail for... murder, attempted murder, owning illegal firearms and other stuff," the SAPS chief was quoted as saying.
