JOHANNESBURG (Reuters) - A South African hitman serving a life sentence for shooting dead the wife of British businessman Shrien Dewani has died of a brain tumour, the justice minister said, before he was due to testify in Dewani's trial for plotting the murder.
Xolilie Mngeni, 27, was diagnosed with having a brain tumour in 2011, shortly after being convicted of firing the shot that killed Anni Dewani while she was on honeymoon in South Africa.
