Prosecution alleges Rob Packham's extramarital affair led to wife's killing

"You never reported your wife missing … and never asked for any help to look for her because you knew all along where she was, and where her car was," Galloway alleged."You were driving around in that car in the vicinity of your home."

CCTV footage depicted a white male in Gill's green BMW near the Packhams' home in the afternoon, after Gill had already died, according to the state. Packham has stated that he had been driving in his own white Audi at that point in the day, searching for his wife. "You went with the car to the Diep River railway station and locked it," Galloway said."Around 9.30pm, you simply set the car alight, thinking that the fire would destroy any and all evidence."

The green BMW was found on fire at the Diep River railway station that evening, with Gill's body in the boot. "You found yourself in a tight spot due to your long-running affair with [your mistress]," Galloway said, giving a possible motive for the crime.
