Boyfriend questioned over murders
01apr04
THE boyfriend of one of three siblings murdered at their Brisbane home almost a year ago has been allowed to go home after more than 18 hours of questioning by police.
Neelma Singh, 24, her brother Kunal, 18, and sister Sidhi, 12, were found dead at their Bridgeman Downs home in Brisbane's north on April 22 last year.
Police believe the siblings were killed in their beds before being dragged into the bathroom and dumped in a spa.
Their parents were overseas at the time of the murders.
Neelma Singh's boyfriend, 34-year-old computer technician Max Sica, who found the bodies, voluntarily went with detectives to the Petrie police station north of Brisbane yesterday.
A police spokeswoman said Mr Sica left the police station at 5.15am (AEST) today.
She said it was likely he would face further questioning.
Police also carried out an extensive search of Mr Sica's home in northern suburban Stafford Heights after going to the house yesterday morning.
The spokeswoman said police concluded their search of the house at 4.30am (AEST) today.
"Numerous items were taken from the house, but their evidentiary value is still to be assessed," the spokeswoman said.
Detective Inspector Tony Cross told reporters yesterday police were not working to a time frame.
"It's a complex investigation, a major investigation, probably one of the biggest in Queensland's history."
The parents of the three siblings, Shirley Singh and her husband Vijay, an auto parts importer, were in Fiji on business at the time of the murders.
Their surviving child Sonia Pathik was living elsewhere in Brisbane with her husband.
