as his publicist

The association was probably started the other way round.
Clifford will have a stake in any future income from the back of this, but won't have been paid upfront for issuing a few vanilla statements with his name attached.

Because he has debts of about £6m.

The debts are those of his company which is going through an expansion in a growing industry.

In his grief at least he can have some comfort that her life insurance and his publicity over the next few years will wipe out his debts.

As a Saffer I have been following this case with interest and I am starting to think there is a bit more to this than just a straight hijacking.... and a lot of people in SA are starting to think so too.

Basically the whole scenario doesn't make a lot of sense and the hubby has given conflicting accounts of his story, although presumably because he is in shock, but he still was able to give a press conference in SA and hire MC to handle his publicity. His appointment of a lawyer in SA is weird since he has not been officially declared a suspect and they have arrested the alleged perpertrators.

The details dont really add up, but it is turning into trial by media.

As corrupt as SA is it is not Russia and I cannot see the police distorting details of the case and trying to pin it on him. Anyway they have nothing to gain from it other than running a massive risk of making SA look like a banana republic.

The fact that he wont return to SA is another fact which is strange. Only he and the driver are witnesses and the driver is implicated so he needs to ID the hijackers, AFAIK if he doesnt the murderers of his wife will most likely walk. It it was me I would not be able to live with myself if that happens

My current verdict is he is hiding something.....

The other thing that doesn't add up, is that the alleged killers didn't rape her, why would they just kill her?
