Dewani's statement about Saturday night-
We then left the city area to go to dinner. We were travelling on a motorway. Tongo said there was one more thing we should see, a street restaurant which was famous because Jamie Oliver had been there. All the tourists, according to him. went there. We turned off the motorway. We ended up in a street flooded with people with loud music. We did not get out of the car. I remember that there was a shop with a red sign or light and on the street there was a barbecue. Most of the people I could see had drinks in their hands and seemed to be having a good time. We did a U-turn and went back to the motorway.
65. On the motorway Anni and I decided that neither of us felt like a heavy dinner as we had eaten rather late that afternoon. We would prefer lighter food. The menu for
96 Winery Road which the hotel had provided to us had a mushroom dish for vegetarians which Anni did not really fancy. We decided we would rather have sushi like we had at Sevruga the night before.
We asked Tongo and he said that there was a restaurant a bit further away on the seafront where we could have sushi.
At our destination Tongo parked the car. Anni and I walked towards the restaurant along the edge of the car park which was right next to the beach. We followed Tongo as he led us into a building and eventually we came to a restaurant called
Surfside.
67. I said to Tongo that I will text him when we were done. He did not come into the restaurant.
68. We were seated at large glass windows looking out over the sea. The restaurant had a wooden floor and slightly to the right of where we entered there was a dance floor and music was playing loudly.
69. I went to the toilet which was just inside the main door of the restaurant. Whilst in the toilet I received a missed call from Tongo. I returned the call. but the signal was bad and the restaurant’s music loud so I walked outside to speak to him. I asked him what he wanted. He wanted to know how much longer we were going to be. I was unsure as we had just ordered. I asked him about meeting the helicopter pilot. He told me he was still trying to get in touch and asked me whether I had the money. I told him that he should not worry about the money and to let me know if we were going to be able to meet him. I told him that the restaurant was not really our kind of place and I asked him what we could do afterwards. He said that there are lots of places we can go and he would tell us when we were done.
70. I went back to the table and our food arrived.
I recall that whilst we were eating I received a text from Tongo to the effect that he had sorted it out to which I replied. I took this to mean that he had contacted the helicopter pilot. When we had finished eating I sent Tongo a text to say that we were coming out.
