ACCUSED killer Max Sica broke down and couldn't continue when police took him on a walk through of the Singh siblings's murder scene, a court has seen.
A Supreme Court in Brisbane had earlier seen taped video recording of an interview between lead investigating officer Joe Zitny and Sica at the Petrie police station, on April 22, 2003.
It then saw a video tape of Sica and police, led by Det Zitny, going through the Singh home on April 25, 2003.
The trial has heard Sica discovered the bodies of the Singh children in an ensuite spa bath at their Bridgemen Downs home, in north Brisbane, on April 22, 2003.
Police took him through the house on April 25, 2003, to tell them about his movements before locating the bodies.
Sica told police he could smell something like a barbecue or cooking brussel sprouts when he was in the house.
"It was like brussel sprouts, the smell of food you don't want to eat," he said.
Sica clearly gave details of what he had done in the lead up to finding the bodies but as the walk through continued in the upstairs area the jury saw Sica become more and more upset until a sobbing Sica couldn't continue.
Police ended the walk through and sent Sica home with his father.
Sica, 42, has pleaded not guilty to murdering Neelma Singh, 24, Kunal Singh, 18, and Sidhi Singh, 12, at Bridgeman Downs, on April 21, 2003.
Later, the court heard recording of Juvenile Aid officers talking with Sica's son Daniel Sica, then aged 11, who was with him when he went to the Singh home, on April 22, 2003.
The court has heard Sica sent Daniel, his daughter Britney and their cousin to the car before he went into the Singh home.
Daniel told the officers Sica had collected him and his sister and friend on Monday morning (April 21) after Sica had not been able to get them the previous day.
The court heard Daniel share details about the Monday they spent with Sica, including getting breakfast and videos, playing, and having dinner with Sica's girlfriend Nicole (Zwoerner).
Daniel said Sica told him Nicole was coming over and that he was now just friends with his old girlfriend Nim (Neelma Singh).
The next day Sica took Daniel, Britney and a friend to the Singh house to see if Neelma and Sidhi wanted to go to a movie with them.
Daniel told police that the relationship between Sica and Neelma was "pretty good" and they were friends.
He said Sica had told Neelma on Sunday that they might be going to the movies on the Tuesday.
When they couldn't raise anyone at the Singh house, Sica and Daniel went to the back of the house given, and tried the back door screen door.
Daniel said he had been able to see two cars in the garage and Neelma's dog Bujo was there.
He also looked in the kitchen window but couldn't see anyone.
Sica had given Daniel his keys and told him and the other children to go back to the car and sit in the car.
Daniel said he did think something was wrong because the Singhs weren't answering the phone or a knock at the door.
Sica then went into the house and Daniel and the two girls went back to the car on the street
Sica had come back crying with the dog, Bujo, and told Daniel to take the dog.
"When dad came back he was crying and his eyes were red. He was calling someone, I didn't know who. Four or five minutes after a police car drove up and dad was talking to them," Daniel Sica told police.
He said his dad had been in the house for about 10, 15 or 20 minutes before coming out.
Daniel said he and the girls waited about half an hour and their aunt came to get them.
The trial before Justice John Byrne continues.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
This walk through was done three days after Max Sica discovered the bodies of the Singh children.
Max Sica did not ask for a lawyer even at this stage.
After leaving the walk through with his father, he was taken to hospital for he was truly in a bad state.
Det. Zitny would have you believe that he faked his grief.
It was stated in court by Archana Singh (sister of the deceased) that on the Easter Sunday night she was having an internet conversation with her sister Neelma. At about 830pm Neelma told her sister (via chat) that there was someone at the door and she had to go answer. Neelma did not log back onto the internet after this incident. Till this very day, no one knows who was at the door that night at that time. I would think that if it was a family member or friend, they would have come forward and stated that they had seen the Singh children that night.
What if it was the killer/s at the door? Kunal Singh had to go out with his friends that night and his friends were suppose to sleep over. He rang his friends and told them that he was not feeling well and that his sister Neelma wanted a quiet night in, so he asked them not to go over.
This is a factor which has been playing on my mind. Maybe they were told not to let anyone come to the house by their killer/s. Kunal was suppose to go out and his friends sleep over, Max Sica was meant to go over and then Neelma told him that she was not feeling well and for him not to. Coincidence? maybe... but still makes one think.
