Packham arrives at the WC High Court as his murder trial proceedings nears its end. His defense team will present their closing arguments shortly.
Adv Craig Webster says from the outset Packham pleaded not guilty. It was significant after plea entered, extensive admissions were made, including affidavits pertaining to his movements on the day of this wife's murder.
Webster: admissions were to place before the court detailed info on his whereabouts before the first witness was called. Judge Steyn says she doesn't know exactly what he did as all those details were not included in his statement. Webster refers to Exhibit K.
Gill Packham was murdered on February 22, but the time is not known, Webster points out. "At some course during the course of that day, the deceased died." His says his client wasn't coy about what he was doing that day.
Webster says there was a great deal of suspicion, but asks what is the reliable evidence and what has been established? Manner in which investigation was conducted focused on the accused from the outset. He argues that the case was built only around Packham.
