THE ESTRANGED daughter of the man who tried to kill his wife during a parachute jump has slammed him for walking out on their family.

She told an ITV documentary: "I really didn’t understand why someone who I thought like I was their world, I was their favourite person, and just disappeared.
"Probably the most selfish thing he's done is not being able to at least apologise for the hurt he's caused and for leaving us all behind in his trail of dust."
South African-born father-of-six Cilliers tampered with wife Victoria's parachute in a case which shocked the world.
Miraculously the mum-of-two survived with just broken bones.

Cilene was the result of his relationship with long-term ex Nicolene Shepherd.
Emile left South Africa for the UK but Nicolene believed the pair were still in a relationship until she was told by his mum he had married another woman called Carly Taylor.
After she moved to the UK, she got back with Emile believing he was divorcing Carly - but later discovered they were still together.
Nicolene told the TV show: "I was under the Emile spell while I was with him. You're dealing with a different species of man with him.
