Details have emerged of the alleged conversation between murder accused mummy’s boy Christopher Panayiotou (CP) and Thando Siyoli (TS) on April 29 at an unknown location

According to Times Live, this is the “edited conversation” from a “sting operation set up by the police to trap Panayiotou”. Siyoli was a bouncer at Panayiotou’s Infinity Bar and has turned state witness.

TS: Things aren’t right now.
CP: Why?
TS: — Babalwa called me and said the police was there at my house. Everything is changing now.
CP: But why are the police after you?
TS: I don’t know. I think here is an informer somewhere, somehow.

Then it sounds as if Panayiotou gives Siyoli R5 000.

CP: Here.
TS: What is this?
CP: Plus minus five [the transcript makes reference to R5000]. Where are you going to now?
TS: I’m going back to Jeffreys Bay. I’m worried about my family. Boss, this thing, I didn’t know it was going to be like this. I thought it was going to be easy.
CP: Yes, but why did they say to you when they fetched you the other day.
TS: They fetched me and then they asked me questions.
CP: And … What did they ask you?
TS: F***ing questions.

CP: Yeah, I am going to be OK as long as they never know about us, Thando. I never ever, I only ever helped you with the gym, I never did anything with you. I’ll sort out your family, you hide low OK. You need to be gone for a few months till this thing calms down.

TS: This thing is not right now.
CP: No, these boys made it big. I told you to let them do it outside the house and take the bags and the rings and then they didn’t take the watch or anything.
TS: They just left.
CP: They just left everything there, you see, so it looks like a hit now. So they are after me, and that’s why I can’t just meet you in front of people like this Thando.
