Accused murderer's mother storms out of court
The mother of accused triple murderer Max Sica has stormed out of a Brisbane court screaming: "My son is innocent.
This morning, Anna Sica left Brisbane Supreme Court in tears after a court case involving her son was adjourned for the second time.
Mr Sica, accused of killing Singh siblings Neelma, Kunal and Sidhi in April 2003, has been on remand in Arthur Gorrie Correctional Centre since his arrest in late 2008.
He claims he is innocent but has lost several attempts to get bail in the lead up to his trial, listed to begin in January next year in Brisbane Supreme Court.
Since his detainment, he has been prevented from seeing his three children.
However last month his legal team lodged a judicial review of that decision.
Outside court, Mr Sica's barrister Sam Di Carlo said other prisoners including sex offenders in Arthur Gorrie Correctional Centre were able to see their children, but an administrative decision by the jail's manager was made preventing Mr Sica's children from visiting.
He said the judicial review lodged sought reasons for that decision, saying the restriction had damaged the bond between Mr Sica and his children, the youngest being five-years-old.
"If he's found not guilty, they've (jail management) broken the bond that will forever be irreparable to the child," he said.
"This has happened despite him being innocent until proven guilty. It's a joke."
After the judicial review case was adjourned this morning, Mrs Sica yelled out in the court room before storming out.
"My son is innocent, why can he not see his children, I want my son to see his children," she said.
"It's not fair on the babies. He has been in jail almost three years."
"These are allegations against him, the police have proved nothing."
