About This Episode
What is this episode about?
The episode "Case 351: Neelma, Kunal & Sidhi Singh" from Casefile: Australian True Crime Podcast Since 2016 covers the killings of three siblings, Neelma, Kunal and Sidhi Singh, whose bodies were discovered by Queensland police on April 22, 2003, in a suburban home in Brisbane's Bridgeman Downs. The children had been killed while their parents were overseas, and their bodies were left in a spa bath with the taps running.
Investigators quickly focused on Neelma's ex-boyfriend, Max Sica, as the primary suspect. According to Max Sica himself, however, the real culprit was much closer to home than detectives believed. The episode carries content warnings for a child victim and child sexual assault, signaling the disturbing nature of the material covered. Sidhi Singh, the youngest of the three victims, is examined alongside her siblings as the episode traces how detectives built their case against Sica and the alternative theory he presented in his own defense.
