Max Sica was only prime suspect after triple slayings

ACCUSED triple murderer Massimo "Max" Sica was the only "prime suspect" under investigation for the brutal slayings of Brisbane's Singh siblings within "24 hours" of their bodies being discovered in April 2003, a court has been told.The Brisbane Magistrates Court was today told Sica was the only person police targeted for investigation over the slaying of Sica's former girlfriend Neelma Singh, 24, her brother Kunal, 18, and sister Sidhi, 12, at the home they shared with their parents at Bridgeman Downs, in Brisbane's north, in April 2003. The comment came as Sica's barrister, Sam Di Carlo, requested the full brief of police evidence more than 6 1/2 years after the Singh siblings were allegedly murdered and dumped in the heated spa bath of their family home. Last week, Queensland's deputy chief magistrate Brian Hine warned police he would consider freeing the man accused of the triple slaying of Brisbane's Singh siblings if they continued to hold up his committal hearing. Mr Hine said he would consider any application to stay charges against Sica if police did not supply defence lawyers with all the evidence required before the hearing resumes in January. He also ordered Detective Senior Sergeant Joseph Zitny to return to the witness box on November 16 to explain delays in supplying Sica's lawyers with all of the prosecution's evidence. Mr Zitney was in court today, but not required to testify after prosecutor Brendan Campbell indicated all of the police brief, compiled so far, had been handed to Sica's lawyers. Mr Di Carlo accepted the Crown had given him documents he requested. Police have spent the past 6 1/2 years investigating the deaths. They were killed while their parents, Shirley and Vijay, were in Fiji on business. Solicitor Kerry Smith-Douglas, for Sica, last week told the Brisbane Magistrates Court her client continued to languish in prison despite his ongoing strenuous denial of having any involvement in the triple slaying of the Singh siblings. Sica's barrister, Sam Di Carlo, last month consistently complained during the committal hearing about receiving an endless deluge of crucial documents and witness statements from police, leaving him inadequate time to prepare his client's defence. He said he had endeavoured to whittle down a list of almost 250 witnesses required for cross-examination but it was "entirely inappropriate'' for the defence team to be receiving crucial documents more than six years after the murders. Mr Hine said yesterday: "I'll consider staying the matter and releasing the defendant if police continue to hold things up.'' Mr Hine has already heard five weeks of evidence after Sica's committal hearing began on August 13. Witnesses who have already testified include the parents of the trio and their only surviving older sibling Archanna Pathik. Vijay Singh, under defence cross-examination, admitted to having extra-marital affairs and regularly beating his wife. But he denied any involvement in his children's deaths or framing Sica for the crime. Mr Di Carlo did not apply for Sica to be granted bail. Sica was remanded in custody for committal on the murder charges on January 28. Sica, who appeared for today's brief hearing, chatted openly with his new wife and father.

DOES NOT TAKE A GENIUS TO WORK IT OUT, MAX HAS AND IS BEING RAILROADED.

MAX Sica was the prime suspect in the Singh triple slaying from day one, despite a lead detective swearing under oath he was initially just a person of interest, a Brisbane court has heard.
Mr Sica, 39, of Stafford, is charged with the murders of former girlfriend Neelma Singh, 24, and her siblings Kunal, 18 and Sidhi, 12.
The trio was found dead in the spa of the family home in the outer Brisbane suburb of Bridgeman Downs in the early hours of April 22, 2003.
During a mention in the Brisbane Magistrates Court today, defence barrister Sam Di Carlo said he had obtained a police document that referred to Mr Sica as the "prime suspect" on April 22, 2003, less than 24 hours after the investigation began.
He said this contradicted evidence given by one of the lead detectives on the case, Detective Senior Sergeant Joseph Zitny, who swore under oath during the currently adjourned committal hearing that Mr Sica was only ever a "person of interest" at the beginning of the investigation.
Mr Di Carlo said targeting Mr Sica as the prime suspect before the investigation properly got under way prevented detectives from thoroughly looking into other avenues and perhaps created a miscarriage of justice.
"Max Sica was a prime suspect within 24 hours of the investigation beginning," Mr Di Carlo said.
"The detectives spent the next few years trying to prove it was Mr Sica and this prevented them from searching down other burrows and investigating other people that it may have been."
Outside the court, Mr Sica's father Carlos Sica said authorities had "gone for the throat" of his son since day one.
"Now we have the evidence to prove it, that this police document said he was the prime suspect," he said.
The matter has been adjourned for a mention on November 16.

Singh murder accused Max Sica may be set free over police delays

The truth cannot be denied for much longer, police are holding things up because they have absolutely nothing. WHY? Because he did not do it. Police are trying to fit a square peg into a round hole (as so to suit what they want to) Max Sica is innocent and should not be kept in confinement for another second.
