Murder-accused Christopher Panayiotou’s hopes at being released on bail before Christmas hinge on the outcome of Tuesday’s proceedings when the state and defence go head to head over copies of the police docket. The businessman’s legal team wants insight into the police case so it can bring a bail application based on new facts.The state is opposed to handing over the docket because it says investigations are not complete.In addition‚ it claims the entire application should not be treated as one of urgency.Court proceedings are expected to commence on Tuesday afternoon. Panayiotou is accused of orchestrating the murder of his wife‚ 29-year-old school teacher Jayde‚ in April this year. - TMG Digital/The Herald..
