I was not inclined to share my PIN with cops, Rob Packham tells court
Cape Town - Constantia businessman Rob Packham, testifying in his defence on Tuesday, told the Western Cape High Court that he was "not inclined" to share the PIN number of his work iPhone work phone with police as he was "not happy with all the information out there".
On the day she went missing, February 22, she did not arrive for work at the usual time of 7:30am. Her body was later found in the boot of a burnt out BMW near the Diep River train station. But on Tuesday Packham said Van Rensburg had misinterpreted his request and that he had, in fact, asked him to lie to his wife should she arrive at the plant or call to check up on him.
"I had seen on social media and it was being said that I had asked a colleague to provide an alibi..That is why I reminded him."Galloway responded: "So you were more concerned about the media than how your conduct was being interpreted?" Galloway also turned the court's attention to Packham's other phone, a private phone used to contact his mistress.
Galloway pointed out that he had not said he had gone to car dealerships in his statement, but had said he went to work soon after his wife left and had "tried to create the impression" that he had been at work.
