New arrest in Panayiotou murder case

More than a year after her death, police have made another arrest in connection with the murder of Port Elizabeth school teacher Jayde Panayiotou, the National Prosecuting Authority said on Monday.

Panayiotou was murdered on April 21, 2015, allegedly at the instruction of her husband Christopher. 

She was kidnapped outside her townhouse complex in Kabega Park in the city and her  body was found in a veld in KwaNobuhle, Uitenhage the next day. She had been shot three times. 

NPA spokesperson Tsepo Ndwalaza said the man was arrested in Green Bushes, Port Elizabeth on Sunday. 

There was strong evidence linking him to Panayiotou’s kidnapping and murder. He will appear in the Port Elizabeth Magistrate’s Court on Tuesday.
