Panayiotou murder-accused back in court

Almost a year after the disappearance and murder of 29-year-old Jayde Panayiotou‚ her husband Christopher Panayiotou and his co-accused are expected back in court on Monday.

Jayde was abducted outside her Kabega Park townhouse complex almost a year ago on April 21‚ 2015. Her body was found on a farm in Rocklands near Uitenhage the next day.

Her husband Christopher‚ 28‚ is accused of orchestrating Jayde’s murder. It is alleged he paid Luthando Siyoli‚ 31‚ a bouncer at his nightclub in Algoa Park‚ to hire hit man Sizwezakhe Vumazonke‚ 30‚ to murder his wife.

A fourth accused‚ Sinethemba Nenemba‚ 28‚ was also linked to the case late in 2015. Siyoli has since turned state witness. — Tiso Black Star Group Digital/Heraldonline
