British millionaire Shrien Dewani left South Africa for Britain on Tuesday, one day after being acquitted for the death of his wife.
Accompanied by his family and members of the British High Commission, Dewani rushed through customs at Cape Town International Airport amid a media frenzy around lunch time. He ignored questions posed to him.
Dewani was acquitted of all five charges by the Cape Town High Court on Monday.
Judge Jeanette Traverso ruled that Dewani was free to return home.
Dewani, 34, was accused of masterminding the murder of Anni in a staged hijacking during their honeymoon in Cape Town in 2010.
Dewani was extradited to South Africa from the United Kingdom in April after losing a long extradition battle.
He was charged with conspiracy to commit murder, kidnapping, robbery with aggravating circumstances and defeating the ends of justice.
The accused claimed that he and his wife were kidnapped at gunpoint by three men as they drove through Gugulethu near Cape Town and that he was released unharmed, however prosecutors alleged that Dewani hired the three men to kill his wife.
Dewani said in court that he loved Anni despite the difference they had.
His acquittal prompted angry reactions, particularly from the family of Dewani's wife.
Anni Dewani's sister Ami Denborg said outside the court that the family is disappointed and feels the South African justice system has failed her family. Enditem
