Car 'like Max Sica's' near Singh house (courier mail)

http://www.news.com.au/couriermail/story/0,23739,26049965-3102,00.html
What the courier mail failed to further report is that tyre impressions were left where the so called blue like sedan was parked and did not match and no further investigations were made on the tracks. The car Mr Sica drove was considered black and not blue. Also there was a call made between Max and Neelma at around 11.10 pm from Max`s mobile to Neelma`s mobile.

ARTICLE FROM BRISBANE TIMES 2nd SEPTEMBER 2009
Detective Zitny said after the text was sent(at 8.56pm)on the night of Easter Sunday, there was a call from the Sica home phone to the Singh's home phone - a call which lasted for two minutes and 35 seconds.
Neelma then rang Sica's mobile phone for one second, which is followed by another 34-second call from Sica's to her mobile phone at 11.10pm.
It is estimated the siblings were killed some time late on Sunday or Easter Monday.

FURTHER INFORMATION ABOUT CAR IN PEPPER STREET::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
In 2003, there were only 2 houses on pepper st. the "small's" indicated they had seen a dark blue 4 door sedan parked at the end of the street, during cross examination by mr Di Carlo, Miss Small and her boyfriend said that they had seen the car twice that night, once around 8 pm when they went over to have dinner with Mr and Mrs Small, and again at around 10.30 pm as the boyfriend was leaving. Mrs Tiyor (the daughter in law of the neighbours across the road) under cross examination stated that she had gone over to her inlaws house to spend the easter weekend there, whilst there on one of the nights, her brother in law had parked the car for her on Pepper Street. Apart from this, tread patterns were found in the area that the Smalls had described where the car had been parked, yet the lead detective Joe Zitny, was unable to answer any questions in relation to the enquiries made in respect of the tread patterns found in the area and the examination of the tyres on all the Sica vehicles (which they had taken in the same week of the murders and then took the cars again one year later). He was asked to provide all the documents in relation to this enquiry about 2 weeks ago and failed to do so, and all he had to say was that he would look into the matter. Even when Mr Di Carlo asked a simple question about whether the tyres of all the Sica vehicles had been examined, he was unable to provide a simple yes or no.

Neighbour heard screams from Singh home
Friday, 11 September 2009

A neighbour was awoken by chilling screams on the night three siblings were murdered in their Brisbane suburban home, a court has heard.
Alicia Frances was giving evidence in the committal hearing of Max Sica, 39, in the Brisbane Magistrates Court on Friday.
Sica is accused of the murders of Neelma, 24, Kunal, 18, and Sidhi Singh, 12, who were found dead in the spa of the home in the outer Brisbane suburb of Bridgeman Downs in April 2003.
Ms Frances, who lives 150 metres from the Singh home, told the court that she heard what sounded like the screams of a woman for "three to four minutes" and woke her husband.
"It frightened me so I said to my husband 'Get out of bed, something has frightened me - I want you to get up and see what it is'," she said.
"It chilled me to the bone actually.
"I think it was an adult female."
She said she did not know the origin of the screams only the general direction of them.
The next day she phoned the police after hearing a call for public information in the media.
She contacted police again a few days later with more information after realising she had seen two males riding bikes in the area at dawn the day before the alleged murders occurred.
Police at the time showed her a photo board with 12 images of men and she identified the image of Sica, who was Neelma's former boyfriend, as being "similar" to one of the men on bikes.
"I can't say it's that person," she said in a police interview video shown to the court. "It's similar to that person."
The hearing continues next week.

Screams Mrs Frances heard were on the Monday night early into the following Tuesday morning around midnight to half past midnight.
Even though the screams were bone chlling and Mrs Frances awoke her husband, no one actually called the police or went to see what was going on.


Sica 'sobbing and red-eyed' in gutterAMELIA BENTLEY
September 4, 2009
Accused killer Max Sica was sobbing and distraught as he sat in the gutter outside the home where he had just discovered the bodies of the Singh siblings, a police officer who interviewed him at the scene has recalled.
Brisbane Magistrates Court yesterday heard evidence from Sergeant Daniel Bonwick who was one of several police officers who arrived at the Singh's Bridgeman Downs house on April 22, 2003 after Sica called Triple-O to report there were "three dead bodies in a bathtub".
The bodies were later determined to be Neelma, 24, Kunal, 18 and 12-year-old Sidhi Singh who were all killed in different ways in the house while their parents were away in Fiji on business.
Last year, 39-year-old Sica, a former neighbour of the Singhs and ex-boyfriend of Neelma's, was charged with the killings.
On day 15 of a committal hearing Sergeant Bonwick said that as he arrived at the Grass Tree Close home he saw a man he later discovered was Sica in the cul-de-sac.
After Sica confirmed he was the person who called police, Sergeant Bonwick said he sat down in the gutter with him to ask him questions.
"He was sobbing, he had red eyes, (he was) very upset," he said.
Reading from the officer's notes, defence barrister Sam Di Carlo pointed out where Sergeant Bonwick claims to have heard Sica say he saw the body of Neelma's sister Archana in the spa must have been a mistake.
"You say he says; 'When I was pulling out the blanket (left over the bodies in the spa) Neelma's hand touched my hand, it was cold and wrinkly. I could also see Neelma's brother Kunal and Neelma's sister Archana'," Mr Di Carlo read.
Archana Pathik, however, was not in the spa that day but was at work when Sica, in the presence of Sergeant Bonwick outside the house, phoned her to tell her the tragic news, the court was told.
Sergeant Bonwick said Sica had asked him to call her but he said he would not.
"I didn't want to have to talk to someone and tell them their family may be dead," he said.
However Sica phoned Mrs Pathik and then handed the phone to the officer, he said.
Asked by Mr Di Carlo if he thought Sica had been faking his emotions, Sergeant Bonwick replied that he did not believe so.
"Why would I? Whatever he saw inside (the house) .. he was upset," he said.

DET ZITNY STATED THAT HE THOUGHT MAX SICA SEEMED COOL AND CALM. THREE DAYS LATER WHEN MAX SICA WAS TAKEN THROUGH SINGH HOUSE, DET ZITNY STATED HE THOUGHT MAX SICA FAKED HIS FEELINGS OF GRIEF. VIDEO FOOTAGE OF MAX SICA IN SINGH HOME WALKTHROUGH WAS SHOWN IN COURT, HE WAS TRULY TRAUMATISED AND DEVASTATED.
