Judgment reserved in Packham's bid for leave to appeal murder conviction CapeTimesSA
Cape Town – Judge Elize Steyn reserved judgment in wife killer Rob Packham's application for leave to appeal his conviction on Wednesday.
Packham's legal team are arguing that there were errors with the identification parade and that cellphone data had been presented in the case that substantiated both the State and the defence's case regarding Packham's whereabouts. The 58-year-old Packham was sentenced to an effective 22 years in jail on June 12 for killing his wife Gill and trying to defeat the ends of justice by setting her car and body alight in February 2018.
