It was the murder case that gripped the country’s attention, briefly, before the drawn out legal battle (and other horrific crimes) pushed it to the back of our memories.

We wrote extensively about it last year – you can run through those stories HERE.

Now, as Christopher Panayiotou readies his defence against charges he will face in the Port Elizabeth High Court, more details are coming to light.

The latest information comes from an indictment served on Christopher yesterday, with this below from TimesLive:

According to the indictment‚ the alleged killers circled the home of Jayde’s friend and colleague‚ Cherise Swanepoel‚ Jayde’s route to work and the Port Elizabeth townhouse complex where she lived with her husband – the alleged mastermind behind her cold-blooded killing – before her abduction and murder…

…it emerged that the alleged killers had battled to trace her in the days leading up to the murder.

They eventually abandoned Panayiotou’s alleged plan to shoot her en route to Riebeek College with Swanepoel.

Instead‚ Sizwezakhe Vumazonke‚ 36‚ and Sinethemba Nemembe‚ 28‚ shoved Jayde into their rental car and drove to an open field in KwaNobuhle near Uitenhage‚ where she was shot three times‚ the prosecution alleges.

After they had been paid‚ Vumazonke and self-confessed middleman Luthando Siyoni went to the KFC in Kwazakhele for supper.

The trial dates have now been set down for October 3 to December 2, where we will no doubt hear mummy’s boy Christopher Panayiotou try and wiggle his way out this mess.
