Qld: Singh mother took evidence from crime scene: court

By David Barbeler

BRISBANE, Aug 27 AAP - The mother of three siblings found murdered in a spa bath has
admitted to the court she took a blood-stained pillow from the crime scene without informing
police.

Shirley Singh on Thursday was on her fifth day of giving evidence in the Brisbane Magistrates
Court in the committal hearing into the murders of her three children Neelma, 24, Kunal,
18, and Sidhi, 12.

Neelma's former boyfriend, Max Sica, 39, is facing the committal hearing accused of
their murders.

The trio were found dead in the spa of the home in the outer Brisbane suburb of Bridgeman
Downs in April 2003.

During cross examination by defence barrister Sam Di Carlo, Ms Singh admitted she took
a blood-stained pillow that belonged to Sidhi from the house.

She told the court she returned the pillow to police a few days later.

The court heard police had allowed Ms Singh back inside the house after the killings
to collect some personal possessions.

The hearing continues on Friday.
