A convicted gunman was hired to kill a British businessman's wife as they celebrated their honeymoon, a court in Cape Town has heard.
Mziwamadoda Qwabe told the murder trial how he demanded £830 to kill Shrien Dewani's wife Anni - after being told to make her death look like a botched carjacking.
The 29-year-old, already serving 25 years in prison for his part in the plot, sat inches away from Dewani as he gave evidence.
"There was a husband who wanted his wife to be killed," Qwabe told the prosecutor.
"Anni would be killed and it needed to look like a hijacking. Nothing would happen to the husband."
Dewani, 34, denies the five charges against him, which include murder and conspiracy to commit kidnapping.
During Wednesday morning's evidence, Qwabe described how the violent attack, which resulted in Mrs Dewani sustaining a fatal gunshot wound, was planned.
The prisoner claimed he and two fellow accomplices, Xolile Mngeni and Zola Tongo, had agreed to steal the husband's mobile phone to make the attack look authentic.
In the courtroom, Qwabe also relived the moment when Mrs Dewani was fatally wounded.
"I heard a gunshot. [Mngeni] said 'I shot the lady'.
"I pulled over on to the pavement and stopped the car. I saw [Anni] was on the back seat of the car."
When questioned by Francois van Zyl, defending Dewani, Qwabe claimed that the gang never had a discussion about how Mrs Dewani was going to be killed.
He confirmed it was unclear who would murder the newlywed, which weapon would be used, or when and where the killing would occur.
Qwabe told the judge that he went home shortly after carrying out the attack, but then headed out to "socialise" because "it was a Saturday evening".
The trial continues, and has been adjourned until Thursday morning. Qwabe is expected to continue giving evidence.
