Welcome to Loose Ends. The Singh Family Tragedy. The vicious, callous, extremely brutal murder of 3 young siblings in Brisbane Queensland in 2003. The bodies found in a hot, bubbling spa bath days later. An exhaustive 5 plus year police investigation resulted in the arrest and conviction of Max Sica, boyfriend of one of the victims and suspect from day one of the police investigation. When you join the many dots in the Crown circumstantial case, Max Sica is the obvious offender. But why are there so many loose ends. Witnesses who were not called to give evidence. Questions that remain unanswered. Things that just don’t add up. Max Sica is a convicted criminal, liar, cheat, manipulator, as well as being possessive and controlling. But is he a killer? As well as presenting evidence from the trial, you will hear of witnesses who were not called. Evidence that had it been known, would have taken the investigation in an entirely different direction. Down another one of the myriad rabbit holes connected with this case. Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/loose-ends. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

In this episode Graeme discusses compelling new images recently discovered by solicitor Jeff Johnston. The images confirm suspicions the evidence in relation to the 'murder weapon', the garden fork has been fabricated. This has huge implications for the Qld Govt and the Qld Police Service who will no doubt dispute the accuracy of the images. Coupled with the evasive, deflecting, conflicting and unconvincing sworn evidence by a number of police officers, the only conclusion that can be reached is the garden fork was never the murder weapon and was introduced into the crime scene by a rogue police with the goal of showing Max Sica was the killer.
