the fresh trial was torturous and they found no relief from Panayiotou’s belated apology.
Jayde‚ 29‚ was kidnapped outside her Kabega Park home on April 21 2015 before being driven to a bushy area in KwaNobuhle where she was executed. The short video clip was shown in court during the original trial. While Siyoni was seated in the back of the vehicle and could not be seen clearly‚ Panayiotou took centre stage in the front passenger seat.
When police arrested Siyoni shortly after Jayde’s murder they confiscated R31,300 in cash. At the time‚ Siyoni alleged this was his cut from the R80,000 Panayiotou paid him to organise hitmen to kidnap and kill his wife. The remaining cash was allegedly paid to Vumazonke. Siyoni subsequently recanted this evidence.
Wow at least he has come clean unlike Oscar, Inge, Henry etc
