MURDER accused Shrien Dewani has been ordered to live at the Priory Hospital - a specialist centre for treating mental health problems - as part of his bail conditions, the UK's Sun newspaper reports

It said London District Judge Howard Riddle ruled that Dewani must live and sleep at the private hospital from this morning.

Dewani was out on bail at his family home in Bristol, but South African authorities said he should be taken into custody after what was thought to be a suicide attempt. He appeared in court after taking an overdose of pills last month.

Lawyers for both sides agreed yester day he should be admitted to hospital instead.
