Murder accused Christopher Panayiotou and his co-accused Sizwezakhe Vumazonke will be back in court today after the case against them was postponed in June this year for further investigation.
Panayiotou, 28, and alleged hitman Vumazonke, 30, are facing charges of murder, conspiracy to commit murder and kidnapping, among other charges in connection with abduction and murder of Panayiotou’s wife, Jayde, in April this year.
Panayiotou is suspected of paying a middleman, Luthando Siyoli, 31, a large sum of money to organise someone to murder his wife. Siyoli, who has turned state witness, in turn allegedly hired Vumazonke to carry out the hit.
Jayde was abducted outside her Kabega Park townhouse complex at about 6.30am on April 21 while waiting for a lift to work. Her body was found on a farm in Rocklands near Uitenhage the next day.
