Youngest Packham daughter will testify in her father's murder trial | Weekend Argus

Cape Town - The youngest daughter of Gill and her alleged killer husband Rob Packham will be called to testify against her father in his trial which starts on Monday. Nicola Packham, 26, is believed to have been subpoenaed last month.

Once served with a subpoena, a witness has to testify or risk a warrant of arrest for contempt of court. “She didn’t want to tell Gill because she didn’t want to hurt her mother or get her father into trouble. Nicola is very much daddy’s little girl. It was a terrible secret for a daughter to keep. No child should be put in that position.”

A week later, on March 1, while Diep River detectives were telling Nicola and her recently married teacher sister Kerry, 28, that the burnt body in the boot was their mother, their father was arrested at home while he partied with friends. On Monday, Susan Galloway, the seasoned prosecutor who put family axe murderer Henri van Breda behind bars, will tell Judge Elize Steyn that she is seeking life imprisonment for Packham.
