Businessman Rob Packham took the stand as his murder trial resumed in the Western Cape High Court on Monday.
He has pleaded not guilty to the murder of his wife, Gill, and to a charge of obstruction of justice.
Gill's charred remains were found on February 22, 2018, in the boot of her burnt-out car at the Diep River train station in Cape Town after the fire was extinguished. The State closed its case and Packham's defence called its first witness before the court went on recess.
