This is getting more and more interesting as it goes along.
From News24:
There’s no extradition treaty between SA and Cyprus. Reference was made to Lolly Jackson’s murderer, George Louka, who fled to Cyprus even though he’d handed his passport in.
CP was given shares to the business and it’s unlikely that the shareholders holding 90% of the shares would allow the business with a turnover of between R4 and R6 million a month would allow the business to run into the ground. Following further investigation it appears that CP doesn’t hold 10% of the shares in the OK Grocer and is merely a salaried employee who can easily be replaced.
The obstruction of justice charge lies with CP’s instruction to have accused 1 (Siyoli) destroy his SIM card and to hide from the police.
Accused 3 (the shooter) was out on bail at the time of the murder.
The investigating officer points out that CP has been in touch with Cyprus and is in possession of a Cyprus ID card, issued in March 2015 (valid until 2020), that would enable him to enter Cyprus without a passport. George Louka had also done this.
It appears that Siyoli didn’t have regular access to Jayde as he was restricted to his access to her through the club. Thus is was someone who had intimate knowledge of her day to day routine who would need to have told accused 3 (the alleged hitman Sizwesakhe Vumazonke) where he would be able to find Jayde.
Tyrone Tiervlei said he was contacted by a friend who was in jail with CP. Tiervlei was given the impression that CP needed help in making things vanish. As Tiervlei needed money, he visited CP. He said CP was hesitant about speaking to him as it would count as a visit. He was also hesitant about speaking when correctional services personnel were nearby. When Tiervlei asked prison staff to give them some space, CP then offered him R40000 to make evidence go away as he was in big trouble.
Correspondence between the police and Cyprus indicates that CP does in fact have an ID card but as the correspondence is in Greek, it will have to be translated.
Jayde’s mother’s affidavit is read onto the record. She says that during her 12 day stay in Cyprus with the couple, they stayed in a home owned by CPs father. The couple invited her to accompany them to Cyprus prior to their marriage. She said her experience indicated that the Panayiotou family were held in high esteem and that CP would be well received if he decided to leave South Africa. A document is produced which shows that neither CP nor his father own property in Cyprus but his mother does.
When they adjourned for lunch, CP didn’t say a word to his parents and just went straight through to the cells.
