Emile Cilliers, accused of tampering with wife’s parachute, says it is possible it was an ‘insider’ with technical knowledgeAn army sergeant accused of attempting to murder his wife by tampering with her parachute before a skydive has told a jury that a “random killer” may have been responsible. Emile Cilliers said it was possible that an “insider” with technical knowledge of parachutes had sabotaged the parachute his wife Victoria used when she fell 1,200 metres (4,000ft) to the ground. He said he did not know of anyone who bore Victoria a grudge and may have wanted to kill her. She said she was feeling “very low”, had “had enough of life” and had failed him as a wife. Cilliers told the jury: “I know she was very emotional … I don’t know if she was trying to get more attention from me.”He continued: “I was having troubles thinking about what I really wanted.
