The husband of Port Elizabeth teacher Jayde Panayiotou has been taken into police custody and is allegedly being held for her murder.
Two suspects were arrested for Panayiotou’s murder. The one is Thando Siyoli who appeared in court this morning and the other her husband, Christopher Panayiotou according to Eyewitness News.
Police were expected to hold a media briefing in the city on Thursday morning. Christopher is set to appear in court next week Monday where he is expected to be charged with murder and abduction.
In a case that shocked the Nelson Mandela Bay Metro‚ Panayiotou was abducted outside her Kabega Park home last week.
Her body was found near KwaNobuhle Township in Uitenhage the next day.
A funeral service for Panayiotou was held on Tuesday at the Mater Dei Catholic Church in Newton Park – the same day Port Elizabeth police released an identikit of one of the suspects.
Police earlier this week said that several people believed to have knowledge of the abduction and murder of the much-loved Riebeek College teacher had been taken in for questioning following a week-long manhunt.
