He is accused of murder and defeating the ends of justice for allegedly killing his wife Gill Packham in February last year.
A composed Rob Packham took the stand on Monday in the Western Cape High Court where he emphatically denied any involvement in the murder of his wife Gill Packham.
The state alleged that her husband used a blunt object to hit her on the head and, with the alleged intention of obstructing the course of justice, set her BMW on fire while her body was in it. She had used his car, and Packham said when picking up the bags she had cut her hand. “I can only suggest it was from that.”
When defence advocate Craig Webster asked Packham if he was in any way involved in causing the death of his wife, his response was vehement: “I was not, absolutely not.” Galloway said their home alarm had been on, the dogs were outside, and there were no signs of a robbery, but Packham said she “could have been attacked in the garage”.On the first day of the trial, which started last month, Packham’s youngest daughter Nicola testified about her parents’ troubled marriage.
