What has Anni's family said about this?
Anni's dad has spoken out of his agony after discovering Shrien has found love four years after being cleared of Anni's murder.
Following news about Shrien's new relationship with a man, Mr Hindocha said: “He kept his gay secret from my daughter and from her family.
"How could he have had it in his heart to do that? It was an utter disgrace.
“Now I learn that he has fallen for another man. That is no surprise.
"I am not against gay people in any way at all. Just this man.
“He has been to Mumbai with his boyfriend and that hurts us greatly. That was the place that Anni married him.
“I would have thought that he would keep that place in his heart especially for that memory. But no.
"He goes there with his gay lover and parades him around. I hate that day he married her.
"And I’ll never be able to see Mumbai with the same eyes."
Mr Hindocha added: "From day one he was denying he was gay. His family said they would sue when allegations were made as it was a lie.
"Then in court he was supposedly 70 per cent bisexual. Now it appears he is pure gay. He should have let us know.
"If Shrien had told us the truth about his sexuality before the marriage, Anni would never have married him or gone to South Africa where she was shot dead."
