Panayiotou’s bail application expected today

Christopher Panayiotou, the man who allegedly orchestrated his wife Jayde’s abduction and murder three weeks ago, is expected to return to court today to make a formal application for bail.

Panayiotou, 28, has been in custody since April 29 after his arrest in Uitenhage for allegedly paying men to abduct his wife from their Kabega Park townhouse complex and murder her.

He was expected to apply for bail at his first court appearance on May 4, but his attorney Alwyn Griebenow said they would be applying today.
