PORT ELIZABETH - CHRISTOPHER PANAYIOTOU TURNS 30 TODAY AS JAYDE'S MURDER TRIAL CONTINUES

Christopher Panayiotou, the businessman alleged to have orchestrated his wife’s death, turns 30 years old with his murder trial set to continue for the 16th day at the Port Elizabeth High Court on Wednesday.

Panayiotou and his two co-accused Sinethemba Nenembe and Zolani Sibeko are facing charges which include murder following the discovery of 29-year old Jayde Panayiotou’s body in a bushy area on the outskirts of Kwanobuhle on April 22 last year.

Panayiotou has been languishing at St Albans prison since April last year, this after a failed bail application at the Port Elizabeth Magistrates Court, a failed appeal at the Grahamstown High Court and an unsuccessful attempt to bring a bail application on new facts.

Despite seeing several graphic close up pictures of his wife’s injuries this week, the businessman remained stone faced, showing no visible signs of emotion. Jayde’s family, her mother Michelle and sister Toni Inggs, were heartbroken and wept as they saw visuals of her final moments.
