Triple murderer Max Sica has launched a fresh bid to clear his name.
Lawyers will be relying on new evidence to unravel one of the biggest criminal cases in Queensland’s history.
Neelma Singh and her siblings Kunal and Sidhi were murdered in cold blood in their Bridgeman Downs home, in Brisbane’s north, in 2003.

Criminal lawyer Bill Potts explained that for new evidence to be admissible for a retrial, it must not have been reasonably available to the defense or prosecution during the initial trial, as reported by 9News.
Graham Crowley, a former detective, closely analyzed the Singh murder case on his podcast called Loose Ends. He expressed his belief that an innocent person might be serving time for the crime.
“Let me put it this way: the evidence doesn’t show that Max Sica did those murders,” he said.
He believes there’s questions specifically surrounding some of the footprints police collected and how the murder weapon was discovered.
This week marks 22 years since the gruesome murders and each of the families involved are living a life sentence.
Sica’s parents have always maintained their son’s innocence, telling 9News the appeal should be granted.
The paperwork is expected to be formally lodged next week, with a hearing later this year.
