Rent boy quizzed by police over claims that husband of honeymoon murder victim paid him for sex sessions

British police have quizzed a German rent boy over claims murder suspect Shrien Dewani had gay sex sessions with him.

The startling revelations - denied by Mr Dewani - come as the father of murdered honeymoon bride Anni Dewani made an impassioned plea for his son-in-law to return to South Africa to face the allegations he was involved in her murder.

The rent boy claims he was paid by the care home tycoon for sex three times.

'Go back': The father of murdered Anni Dewani has appealed to her husband Shrien to return to South Africa and face justice

Vinod Hindocha appealed to millionaire businessman Shrien Dewani to abandon plans to fight extradition over claims he hired two hitmen to kill his wife in a staged carjacking during their Cape Town honeymoon.

Scotland Yard sources said they had spoken to a 39-year-old escort about his alledged relationship with Dewani.

Although police won't officially speak about the interview sources said the German man contacted investigators after seeing Mr Dewani's picture in the media.

But last night a lawyer for Mr Dewani told The Sun the allegations were 'completely false and ridiculous'. Mr Dewani's spokesman, Max Clifford, also rubbished the claims saying his client had never had a homosexual relationship. 

In a direct appeal to his son-in-law, Mr Hindocha said: ‘Go to South Africa. Let the world know what happened.

‘Give us justice. That’s what I ask for. Justice for my daughter, who was so lively and innocent. 

‘If he says proudly that he did not do it, then just go back. Clear the doubts.’ 

Mr Dewani returned to his Bristol home a few days after his 28-year-old wife was shot dead after their taxi was ambushed in a township outside Cape Town on November 13. 

The taxi driver, Zola Tongo, was jailed for a reduced sentence of 18 years after admitting organising the murder but claiming Mr Dewani asked him to arrange the two ‘assassins’. 

Three days after the killing, Mr Dewani, 30, allegedly broke off from a meeting with his grieving father-in-law in South Africa to hand a packet of cash to Tongo.

Mr Clifford said Mr Dewani was simply handing over the fare.

Mr Hindocha has signed an affidavit confirming his son-in-law left after receiving a call. 

The money exchange was captured on CCTV, the High Court in London was told last week. 

Speaking from his home in Mariestad, Sweden, Mr Hindocha said he had not had further contact with his son-in-law. 

The 61-year-old, who runs an electrical equipment company in Scandinavia, said he and his family were struggling with Anni’s death. 

‘It’s terrible. Things are not getting better. I can’t go to work. I can’t do anything,’ he told South Africa’s Cape Times newspaper.

‘We just walk round and round. We can’t get peace of mind.’

On bail: Shrien Dewani leaves Southmead Police Station, in Bristol, where he must report

Mr Dewani’s lawyer, Clare Montgomery QC, told Westminster Magistrates’ Court last week he does not ‘consent’ to returning to South Africa, where the authorities want to investigate him on suspicion of conspiracy to murder. 

He is at home in Westbury-on-Trym on £250,000 bail ahead of next month’s extradition hearing. He denies any involvement in the murder.

The two men accused of killing Mrs Dewani are to stand trial in Cape Town in February.
