As for the family of Mr Max Sica, they have gone through as much grief as anyone. The singh children were like part of their family, Mrs Singh was very close to the Sica family too. They (the sica family) were in the same shock, disbelief and grief as anyone else when they heard what had happened to Neelma, Kunal and Sidhi. In their grief they had to also deal with their son being considered a suspect, their home being searched by police on numerous occassions (including the homes of Max`s sisters), the children of the Sica family(aged 5 to 11) who were with Max Sica (on the day of discovering the bodies) being questioned over and over again, media who accumulated like vultures nearly everyday on their doorstep, phone calls continuously from media to their home etc etc . Some people decided to drive past their home and scream out murderer or some other comment, their cars parked outside their residence pelted with eggs. It was like hell on earth.

On the day of the funeral, Max Sica was escorted out by police on request of the singh`s. The police knew he was going to be there, no one called to say dont come you are not welcome, the police didnt advise any of the Sica family members that Max Sica was not wanted there.

Max Sica went there to pay his respects for the singh children, he was devastated. I was at the funeral and saw 4 or 5 officers in suits rushing over to a spot, i wondered what is happening, someone must be in danger or causing danger. To my surprise they were surrounding Mr Max Sica and escorted him out and not through an exit where there was no media, they escorted him out right in front of all the media cameras. The rest of the Sica family stayed just to hear the end of the mass for the children and then left. They didnt cause an uproar because they were there for one purpose only FOR THE SINGH CHILDREN. Just imagine what it was like for them, they could have walked out, but they chose to stay till the end of the mass and pay their respects only for those children. to be continued........
