CAPE TOWN - Constantia businessman Rob Packham has on Tuesday, defended "unwittingly" missing an appointment with the investigating officer in his wife's murder case, scheduled for the day after her body was found.
"The day before your evidence is that you were so numb, so emotional, struggling to get your wife reported missing. That is the picture you are painting. Now, the police involved in looking for your wife, or addressing the question of her car...you say I will see you tomorrow morning at 8.30am. But then when you can't sleep, you go on a scenic drive missing the appointment."
Packham is accused of murder and defeating the ends of justice for allegedly killing his wife Gill Packham in February last year. He has pleaded not guilty. "Even though the Wynberg police officer said you must go to Diep River [SA Police Service] SAPS to sign the forms and get reference forms for a missing person case, you never went."
He conceded sending his former lover a message at around 8.30am on the morning of his wife's disappearance, telling her he had overslept. But Galloway pointed out that according to his version, at that time he was driving to car dealerships to find a new car for his wife.
