Constantia businessman 58-year-old Rob Packham on Wednesday in the Western Cape High Court peppered his responses to cross-examination with the words “fiction”, “fantasy”, “pure coincidence” and “speculation”.
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 her burnt-out BMW near the Diep River train station. Thomas Keenan earlier testified that his friend Lance Govender arrived at his house at around 8pm that night. They heard a commotion about an hour later, but he was not sure of the exact time. Govender, however, recalled that it was at 9.30pm, and told the court he had looked at the wall clock.
Galloway said even if Thomas had made a mistake in identifying Packham as the driver of the Audi, “at the end of the day”, he identified Packham as the person he saw on the scene, pointing him out in an ID parade. “It’s fantasy. It’s an absolute coincidence… I’m sure my white car is not the only one in Cape Town.”
He could not explain blood drops on the door frame leading into the house, however. According to Packham, she could have used plasters kept in the garage for the cut and could have shaken her hand, explaining the blood on the compost bag.
