Shrien Dewani: You've Been Framed

“I consider myself to be bisexual. My sexual interactions with males were mostly physical experiences or email chats with people I met online or in clubs, including prostitutes such as Leopold Leisser.”

Shrien Dewani’s astonishing confession on the first day of his murder trial in South Africa, read out by his formidable and formidably expensive barrister Francois van Zyl, would determine the direction of the rest of the case.

The prosecution had hoped that exposing Mr Dewani as an active homosexual would provide a motive for him wanting to kill or arrange the killing of his beautiful wife, Anni, of only 15 days.

In fact, the opposite proved to be true. Judge Jeanette Traverso ruled that any argument about Mr Dewani’s homosexual behaviour could not be used as a motive for killing his spouse and was, therefore, irrelevant...

The Times.

Fagburn has - as per - been pretty much a lone voice, crying in the wilderness like a lovelorn dingo, in suggesting Mr Dewani was being framed.

As to his actual involvement in the killing of 'his beautiful wife, Anni', well, that is entirely a matter for you.

PS The secret pain of being gay and Asian, The Times. Seems a bit shoehorned, but, you know, it's The Times...

Asifa Lahore: Revelations

The Observer.

Using the Dewani trial as a hook seems a bit off/odd, but this video is amusing.

Oh, you may remember Asifa from this BBC3 censorship farce back in March.

The Guardian call Club Kali's promoter 'Rita' - her name is Ritu. Oops!

PS Anni Dewani murderer dies in prison - now this is a conspiracy theory waiting to happen.

Shrien Dewani: Have You Been Framed?

How silly of The Sunday Times - don't they know the world's already decided Shrien Dewani's guilty?

He had a Gaydar profile FFS - ergo he had his wife killed!

Please don't bother us with all this silly 'evidence' stuff.

PS Shrien Dewani is on trial for murder, not his sexuality, Dan Newling, New Statesman.

Update: At last some sense in court, from The Telegraph.

Daily Mail: Filthy-Minded

Mail Online giving its readers what they want.

The story is actually 'borrowed' from the Daily Mirror.

The blanked out word is 'cocksucker'.

Thanks for asking.

And the moral of this story is, if you have a Gaydar or Grindr profile, just say you're only here looking for nuns to join a knitting circle.

PS This ebola/ISIS story has to be one of the Mail's best works of fear-mongering fictions.

The Sun: You, The Jury!

It's hard to know which one's worst, really...

Shrien Dewani: Show/Trial

Bit racist?
and a bit homophobic?
You'll love this.
Why can't they learn to shoot their wives in the bathroom 
like straight white men?

The Sun Sunday: The Return Of Mr Hyde

Like Dr Jekyll falling behind his lab table ready to rise as Mr Hyde, you can almost smell The Sun Sunday turning back into The News Of The World.
Early editions of The SOS were much criticised for being bland and unsensational, but now it's getting back to its bad old ways.
Today's cover story has got it all; Tenuous links to the Royal Family! Squaddies! Bizarre sexual practices! Anti-gay innuendo!
'A YOUNG squaddie at Prince Harry's Army base was the victim of a shocking gay sex attack, it was claimed last night. 'A drunken gang of three soldiers allegedly pinned him down as he slept at Wattisham, Suffolk...'
I bet this caused a collective "Phwoar!' in the newsroom.
The Sun seem unaware - or perhaps just don't care - that nobody catagorises "male rape" as "gay", anymore.
The item also includes phrases like "Sex at attack Harry's base" or "a military probe is under way", which don't seem unfortunate, just extremely childish.
Welcome back (school) boys.

The Sun: Kinky Sex Makes The World Go Round Part 4,834

It's the kinky sex gay murder mystery story that's got it all!
Whoever got to write this one up for The Sun must have been wanking while he was typing - wanking with joy...
"COPS have questioned a rent boy who claims honeymoon murder husband Shrien Dewani paid him for kinky sex.
"The 39-year-old escort told Scotland Yard he slept with the British care home tycoon three times.
"Dewani, 30, is suspected of arranging the killing of his wife Anni, 28, in South Africa. He refutes all the allegations.
"Cops suspect Dewani had Anni killed by hired hitmen while they were on honeymoon there.
"As part of the investigation, they want to ask him whether he is secretly homosexual...
"British detectives last night prepared to pass on the gay sex worker's details to South African cops.
"The 6ft 2in, 16½ stone rent boy told the Metropolitan Police's special crime directorate that Dewani paid him a total of £1,100 in cash for his services between September last year and this April."
Sadly The Sun does not have a name or a photo of the 39 year old [sic] rent "boy".
For shame.
I don't know about you but I was going to wait til all the evidence in this case had been presented and discussed in a court of law, but now I've heard a rumour he had kinky gay sex with a 39 year-old German rent boy I say; "Let him hang!"
