'Bisexual' Dewani pleads not guilty of Cape Town honeymoon murder

CAPE TOWN: In an explosive opening to his long-awaited trial Monday, British millionaire Shrien Dewani pleaded not guilty to murdering his young bride while on honeymoon in Cape Town but admitted having paid male prostitutes for sex.

Dewani told the High Court in a written statement that he considered himself to be bisexual -- a pre-emptive strike against possible prosecution plans to portray him as a gay man trapped in an arranged marriage which he ended by hiring hitmen to kill his wife.
