WATCH: An innocent person does not act that way - Jayde's family speaks about Christopher Panayiotou

accreditation

Michelle Inggs, the mother of slain school teacher Jayde Panayiotou, has told Carte Blanche in an exclusive interview that her daughter's in-laws have not showed her family "mercy" following the murder. 

The Inggs family says Panayiotou's behaviour after the discovery of Jayde's body does not indicate innocence.

Jayde's husband and two others have been accused of her murder.

Christopher Panayiotou allegedly hired Luthando Siyoli, 31, a bouncer in his employ at the Infinity club in Algoa Park, Port Elizabeth, to find a hitman, Sizwezakhe Vumazonke, 30, to kidnap and murder his wife.

During his bail application it emerged that the financial strain of having to support a mistress, Chanelle Coutts, in addition to a wife, may have led to the murder.

Jayde was kidnapped on Tuesday, April 21, while waiting outside her complex in Kabega Park for her lift to Riebeek College Girls' High School in Uitenhage, where she taught. Her body was found near KwaNobuhle, Uitenhage, the next day.
