Vijay Singh 'woke screaming' from nightmare in Fiji around the time that his children were murdered in Australia

THE father of the murdered Singh siblings had a "horrible dream" on the night they were allegedly killed, a court heard today.

Vijay Singh was in Fiji on April 20, 2003, when he had a dream which resulted in both he and his wife Shirley waking up screaming in the middle of the night .

The Supreme Court in Brisbane has heard that police believed the Singh siblings were killed late on April 20 or early on April 21, 2003.

During cross examination, Vijay Singh told defence barrister Sam Di Carlo that the nightmare had not been about his slain children.

He agreed it had been about a woman in black but he and Shirley had comforted each other after he woke up screaming.

Vijay Singh told police about the dream in his statement.

Max Sica, 41, had pleaded not guilty to murdering Neelma Singh, 24, Kunal Singh, 18, and Sidhi Singh, 12, at Bridgeman Downs, in Brisbane's north, on April 21, 2003.

The court had heard Vijay Singh and Shirley Singh were on business in Fiji from April 13, 2003.

Mr Di Carlo, for Sica, asked Vijay Singh at length about calls made from Fiji to the Bridgeman Downs house from mid-April while they were on business.

"On Easter Sunday (April 20) or Easter Monday (April 21) according to records there were no calls from you (Vijay) or Shirley in Fiji to the Bridgeman Downs house or from the house to Fiji.

"Why would you go two days without calling the children at all?" Mr Di Carlo asked.

Vijay Singh said on the Monday he sent money via Western Union and tried to send a fax with details to the house but it had not gone through.

He said he had no recollection of trying to make a call on those days but he could not answer for his wife.

VIjay Singh told the court when he returned from Fiji after the killings he had been taken to a police station but he could not recall if he spoke to them about Sica.

He could not recall police telling him Sica was the prime suspect.

Earlier, Vijay Singh agreed with Mr Di Carlo that with the passage of time he could become confused about some issues.

Vijay Singh had apologised to the court about giving evidence on an incident on Mothers Day when he believed Sica arrived when he was making breakfast.

But Vijay said on reflection he had his Mothers Days confused and he had not been in the country on that day. Shirley had told him of the incident.

"You were honestly mistaken, you had convinced yourself it was true and you weren't trying to be dishonest. With a passage of time you got confused?" Mr Di Carlo asked.

Vijay Singh agreed that he could have been confused about other some things but not everything.

The start of the trial, before Justice John Byrne, was delayed about 30 minutes today when a juror was caught in Brisbane's traffic chaos.

Mr Singh says he had a horrible nightmare and woke up screaming on Easter Sunday 2003, he said it was not directly related to his slain children but that he saw a woman in black..... he says he and his wife comforted each other etc....in other words it was like a bad omen of some sort. Mr Singh did not ring his children or hear from them at all on that Easter Sunday. He says that on the Easter Monday he tried to fax a code at the house in Australia to Neelma so she could go get the money he sent. He says he tried to ring Neelma but got no reply. He had this horrible nightmare, a bad omen, if it was me i would want to speak with my children, not because he had special powers and knew his children were in mortal danger, but because in my opinion, being Easter day and all, i would want to wish them a Happy Easter and see if all was ok. Of course this is in MY OPINION. Everyone is different and chooses to act the way they wish.

Mr Singh was 100% sure about the Mothers day incident he had stated in court the other day, he said it and repeated it. When defence lawyer S Di Carlo told him that he would have been out of the country according to his own passport details, he was still going on about how sure he was and said that passport documentation etc is only a bunch of paperwork etc etc..... i see today he has acknowledged that he was wrong about the incident.

Mr Singh states that he can not recall speaking to police about Max Sica when he arrived in Australia and was taken to a police station.... believe me, thats all that Mr Singh did do. He started doing it even before he left the country in March when he took his daughter Neelma along with him to the Stafford Police Station to make a complaint against Max...He was so worried, he was so concerned, he thought Max was such a psycho that he left the country with his wife shortly after and left the children on their own.

Mr Singh recieved threatening calls to his home from Fiji not long before the deaths of his children. At first he says that he did not really find them that threatening, he thought it was someone in Fiji made to make these calls on behalf of his wife or mistress etc.... The call found on his answering machine was truly threatening and vile and vicious in nature. words to the effect of...you fucked with our family, now we are gonna fuck with yours. Rape your wife and daughters, we know where you live, we now have your phone number. Then in their native language they say die and kill. Mr Singh had made a note of this call on a diary page. He says the call was made on Oct 30th 2002 at 946pm, another call was made about ten minutes later where he says he actually had a conversation with these people but the tape got erased when his business case was broken into. Phone records do not show he had recieved these two calls on that particular day and at those particular times from overseas numbers. I guess he must have confused the date and times for those calls as well. He did say he had asked his wife when she came back from Fiji with Neelma if she had done this and that she had said no.

Mrs Singh took the stand on Tuesday afternoon, providing details about how her family met the Sica family after they first moved to Brisbane in 1993.

She became teary when speaking about her children, and said she had eventually become concerned about Neelma becoming too friendly with Sica.

‘‘She said: ‘No, we’re just friends mum. He’s just trying to help us out’,’’ she said.

However, Mrs Singh said Neelma quit her job in Dubai in 2002 and returned to Brisbane without telling her family so that she could secretly live with Sica.

However, she said her daughter soon told her she had changed her mind because she thought Sica was ‘‘possessive’’.

‘‘She said she was glad she lived in Bribie Island with him because she actually got to know what sort of person he was,’’ Mrs Singh said.

‘‘She said she doesn’t want to have anything to do with him any more.

‘‘She said she doesn’t like Max any more at all.’’

Mrs Singh said she told Sica not to visit their home any more.

The trial continues.

Mrs Singh is now being questioned by prosecution.

Vijay Singh claims accused killer Max Sica brainwashed his family by acting in a 'goody goody' way

THE father of the murdered Singh siblings accused killer Max Sica of brainwashing his family by acting in a "goody, goody" way and encouraging his youngest daughter to allege he molested her, a court heard today.

In the Supreme Court in Brisbane, Vijay Singh was being cross examined by barrister Sam Di Carlo, for Sica, about an argument at the Singh family home in November 2002, about six months before the alleged murders.

The court has heard Vijay Singh and Sica had a major confrontation after Sica went to the house to accuse Vijay Singh of molesting his daughters and beating his family.

Police were called to the house and Vijay Singh told them Sica had been using his powers to manipulate and brainwash his family.

Vijay Singh told Mr Di Carlo that Sica had been brainwashing his family "right from the start."

Mr Di Carlo asked if Vijay Singh believed Sica had any special powers to brainwash people.

"Trying to show he was very goody, goody while I was away," he said.

Mr Di Carlo asked if Vijay Singh meant things such as taking out the bins for the Singh family.

"You think being nice to them was brainwashing them?" Mr Di Carlo asked.

Vijay Singh replied that he believed Sica had been brainwashing his family and manipulating them.

He said on the night of the altercation Sica had said he came to protect the Singh family but it was another case of Sica trying to manipulate his family.

Sica, 41, had pleaded not guilty to murdering Neelma Singh, 24, Kunal Singh, 18, and Sidhi Singh, 12, at Bridgeman Downs, in Brisbane's north, on April 21, 2003.

Mr Di Carlo also asked Vijay Singh about Sidhi going to the school counsellor and making a complaint about Vijay molesting her.

Vijay Singh said Sica had manipulated Sidhi to make the claims.

"He brainwashed my daughter...it was him it was Max Sica who told her to go to the school counsellor. I am not a child molester.

"Max Sica told my Sidhi that I was having affairs and had to be pushed out of the house," Vijay Singh said.

He said the police had investigated the claims and no charges had been laid.

Earlier, Mr Di Carlo had cross examined Vijay Singh at length about the confrontation when his wie Shirley Singh, and his daugthers Neelma and Sidhi were there, on November 22, 2002.

Mr Di Carlo asked if at any time did Sica try to stop Vijay Singh from calling the police, to which Vijay Singh replied: "No."

Vijay Singh rejected a claim that Sica had not used violence to him.

"He (Sica) held me by my neck...he forced me to sit down and he pinned me with his knee," Vijay Singh said.

Mr Di Carlo said Vijay Singh had made threats to Mr Sica.

"You said wait and see what I can do, you will be surprised...what did you mean by that?" Mr Di Carlo said.

Vijay Singh said he meant he would report the incident to authorities as Sica had no right to come into his house.

He said he kept telling Sica that he (Sica) was on parole and was a criminal who had no right to be there.

Mr Di Carlo asked Vijay Singh about allegations he had tried to force his wife Shirley Singh to have sex with Sica and have a threesome with the Singhs.

"I reject that," Vijay Singh said.

Mr Di Carlo asked was it true that Sica and Shirley Singh had decided to lie and pretend they had sex.

Vijay Singh said it was not true and also denied he had turned against Sica when he found out that Sica had not actually had sex with Shirley Singh.

He also denied he had forced Shirey Singh to have sex with "dozens of other men" while he watched.

"Only on two occasions," Vijay Singh said.

The trial before Justice John Byrne continues.

MAX SICA WAS CALLED TO GO OVER TO THE SINGH HOUSE THE DAY OF THE CONFRONTATION BETWEEN HIMSELF AND MR SINGH.

Sidhi Singh and then Neelma had called and text Max to ask for his help. There are phone records showing this and the text messages that were sent. There are also police records and statements made by all involved. Max did not just rock up to the house, barge in and cause havoc.

On the recording of the whole incident (all of it not just bits and pieces) you can clearly hear Mrs Singh tell Max that he has her permission to be there and that he is there in her favor. You can also hear on that recording Mrs Singh in her own language accusing Mr Singh of inappropriate behaviour towards their first born daughter when she was a child. Max was asked by Mrs Singh, Neelma and Sidhi to accompany them when they went to make the complaint. It was not Max who brainwashed them into going there.

Mr Singh did make threats to Max on that recording and you can clearly hear them. Max says on that recording...Dont worry, im not going to hurt you, what do you think i am like you? Im just going to wait for the cops. Remember that Max did not know that Mr Singh was recording the whole incident.

Mr Singh stated in court that the last time he spoke to his children was on Saturday the 19th of March 2003. He did not speak with them at all on the Easter Sunday. He then said that on the Easter Monday, he was going to send some money to Neelma and had to fax a code to her at the house so she then could use it to go get the money. He says that the fax did not work, that he tried to call Neelma and did not get a reply. I wonder why he did not try to call his other daughter A rchana and ask her to contact her sister and tell her he was trying to fax her so she could go get the money he had sent. Mr Singh had instructed Archana to keep an eye on the other kids while he was away, Archana had stated at committal that she was in constant contact with her siblings and was like their shadow. If she had tried to contact her siblings on the Easter Monday and kept on getting no reply, was she not worried as to why? Did she try to contact her siblings during the day on Tuesday?

Mr Singh today stated in court that for 37yrs he has prayed to his God on Mondays and fasts on that day. He even said he was fasting today and that defence lawyer Sam Di Carlo was insulting his God. He stated that they had many Gods which were the removal of evil in any form or way of life.

In the BHAGVAD GITA (indian bible or holy religious book) it is taught that adultery and fornication if one of the highest forms of sin, let alone between a married couple. Even women are taught to hold on to their virginity until married, hence the tradition of arranged marriages as chosen by the parents.

Mrs Singh herself stated that Mr Singh was not a religious man but only took part on major prays and or occassions.

It doesnt matter what religion you come from or what God you believe in as we are all taught that there is only one God. If my God teaches me that adultery is a sin, i know that i will never have the conscience after having participated in fornication to bow my head and pray for justice for the 3 Singh children...mind you, im not even their parent.

The Singh family when it suits them, uses their religion as an excuse to justify most of their beliefs and actions, on the other hand when things dont go to their liking or reflect the aussie culture, they bend towards the ever modernizing western world and culture.

FOR YOU MAX

Don`t dispair, don`t give up, the day is nearing when the truth will be out. We know who you are and we know what you feel, we pray for you each day as we kneel. You would give your own life to save that of another, you are just that way, it`s not only a cover. Hold on to your faith and keep yourself strong, we know you will be free, it won`t be long. Remember we love you we are always near, hold your head up and never fear. The day is coming don`t dispair, we love you max, we will always be there
