Another gay sex bombshell for Dewani

Cape Town - A second man has come forward to claim he had kinky gay sex sessions with honeymoon murder suspect Shrien Dewani.

Britain's Daily Star reported on Sunday that the man - a respected political aide who mixes in the highest circles at Westminster - said he had sex with Dewani in a private room at gay fetish club The Hoist in London on several occasions.

The 53-year-old political adviser told the newspaper that Dewani's denials that he was secretly gay had prompted him to come forward with his claims. He apparently gave a statement to Scotland Yard.

He claims they first met at the club nine years ago, and that Dewani was a "submissive" who enjoyed S&M and dressing up in leather.

Another man, a German escort named Leopold Leisser who advertises his services as "The Master", told police that Dewani had paid him to have sex on three separate occasions. Leisser could be a prosecution witness should Dewani stand trial.

According to the Daily Star, prosecutors told Dewani's extradition hearing in London in 2011 that they had a witness who claimed Dewani had said he needed to "find a way out of getting married" and that he would be "disowned" by his family if he tried to break off his engagement.

On Friday, Britain's High Court ruled that Dewani's extradition to South Africa to face charges relating to his alleged masterminding of his wife Anni's murder in Cape Town in November 2010 should be halted on mental health grounds, saying it would be "unjust and oppressive" to order the extradition given his current state of mental health.
