Your Sikhs today: Queensland, Australia edition

Imagine how long we've waited for a story we could dateline "Toowoomba"! Today we have one, proving (if nothing else) that the US of A and Canada are not the only countries plagued with Sikh immigrants -- legal or otherwise -- who refuse to conform to the social and cultural norms of their host countries. 

The second "A" in the AABC countries -- the first being America -- is Australia, which gets its share (and more) of students and graduates of the internationally notorious Singh School of Truck.

Meet Dharminder Singh, 48, a taxi driver [See? What'd I tell ya! Ed.] accused of killing his former partner four months after the birth. Jana Armstrong, 30, was last seen at a unit on Gordon Avenue in the Toowoomba suburb of Newtown, south-east Queensland, last Tuesday. 

Her white Hyundai Kona was found in the middle of the road on the corner of Jellicoe Street and Gordon Avenue early on Wednesday, sparking a search that came to an end on Saturday night when her body was found by pig hunters in steep bushland an hour's drive north of Toowoomba. 

Mr Singh, a native of India, was arrested on Sunday morning and appeared by video link in Toowoomba Magistrates Court today. He now faces additional charges of arson and breach of bail, proving, if nothing else, that the Australian "justice" system is just as lax and alien-friendly as that of Canada.

Defence lawyer Ramli Salehkon, from Toowoomba Multicultural Legal Services, told the magistrate that his client is too "distressed" to enter a  plea at this time, and will not do so until a brief of evidence was provided to the court. In other words, "He'll place his bet after he sees your cards." Mr Salehkon added, "My client has co-operated with police investigation… [and] asserts his innocence. This matter will be defended."
