The case against Babalwa Breakfast has been provisionally withdrawn in the Port Elizabeth Magistrate's Court, pending the outcome of the murder trial against Christopher Panayiotou and his two co-accused.
Breakfast and her boyfriend Luthando Siyoni, the alleged middleman in the murder of Jayde Panayiotou, were both state witnesses in the first part of the trial in the PE High Court.
However, they were both declared hostile witnesses after doing about-turns on their testimony. Following her last day on the stand, Breakfast cried hysterically when she was arrested on a charge of perjury.
Siyoni was seen accompanying Breakfast at this morning's brief court appearance.
The Christopher Panayiotou murder trial resumes in the Port Elizabeth High Court in April. Panayiotou has been languishing in St Albans prison ever since he was arrested shortly after his wife's murder in April 2015.
Pictured here are Breakfast and Siyoni leaving the Port Elizabeth Magistrates' Court on Friday.
