Kebble - Death of a salesman

NVDL: Not a nice place when you figure you are worth more dead than alive. Imagine rationalising that your family are better off with a certain sum of money, but to get it you have to figure the best way to kill yourself.
Then you kill yourself but then the plot is discovered - now you're dead and your family get nothing (and you're still not there to support them, be a father, husband whatever.) Crazy.
THE man accused of murdering businessman Brett Kebble could receive a reduced sentence if convicted, after the National Prosecuting Authority (NPA) confirmed yesterday that Kebble arranged his own murder.

The indictment still charges Glenn Agliotti with murder and conspiracy to murder, but the NPA conceded in documents submitted to the Johannesburg Regional Court yesterday, at a hearing to set a trial date, that it had evidence that Kebble planned his own death.

Agliotti’s 17-page affidavit submitted at his bail application last year — which mirrored claims made by former accused turned state witness Clinton Nassif — caused a stir when Agliotti said there had been a number of dry runs before the actual murder and much consultation about how it should take place.

Discussions included drugging Kebble’s pilot to cause his aircraft to crash, but there were concerns about involving an innocent party, so Kebble eventually opted for what appeared to be a botched car hijacking.
