The Brisbane Supreme Court trial of alleged murderer Max Sica has heard his triple-0 call reporting his discovery of the bodies of the Singh siblings.
Sica, 41, has pleaded not guilty to killing his former girlfriend Neelma Singh and her younger brother and sister Kunal and Sidhi Singh in 2003.
Sica reported finding their bodies in a spa bath in their Bridgeman Downs home on Brisbane’s northside.
During one of several exchanges between an emotional Sica and police, Sica said he needed them because he had just found three dead bodies in a bathtub.
The prosecution says the call is evidence of Sica’s guilt because when paramedics went to the crime scene, it was almost impossible for them to see the body of Kunal Singh under those of his sisters.
Earlier, the court heard a phone call where Sica tells one of his alleged victims that he is dying from a brain tumour and intends to commit suicide.
Prosecutors played a call between Neelma Singh and Sica she recorded three weeks before her death.
In it, Sica claims he has a brain tumour and intends to drive his car off a mountain to take his own life. He says he wants to make it look like an accident so she and his family benefit from an insurance payout.
He also asks Neelma Singh to spend time with her but denies he is making up a story to reconcile with her.
The trial continues.
