The businessman is accused of being the mastermind behind the abduction and murder of his wife, Jayde, in April 2015.

 

When court adjourned in April 2017, a very lengthy trial-within-a-trial finally came to an end.

 

That trial dealt with a secret recording by police during a sting operation and whether it is admissible in court.

 

In the video, accused number one, Christopher Panayiotou, allegedly implicates himself in the crime.

 

The state and defence will give their closing arguments today and Judge Dayalin Chetty is expected to make his ruling.
