Melbourne, Jan 10 (PTI) Two men, believed to be Indian
seasonal workers, were quizzed and had their passports seized
at Sydney airport after they were briefly detained by
detectives probing the killing of 25-year-old Ranjodh Singh,
whose partially-burnt body was found recently.

Singh, a seasonal work contractor who recruited Indian
immigrants to work on farms in the Riverina, had been living
in Wagga Wagga area and was visiting Griffith in New South
Wales at the time of his death. His partially-charred body was
found on the side of Wilga Road at Willbriggie on December 29.
The two men, believed to be employed by Singh as seasonal
workers, were detained at Sydney airport's departure lounge
last Monday as they were about to board a flight to Nepal via
Singapore, 'Sydney Morning Herald' reported.
They were questioned at Mascot police station but were
later released without charge after being forced to hand in
their passports.
Detectives believe Singh may have been murdered in a
fight over unpaid wages at a Christmas party two days before
his murder.
A post-mortem examination revealed his throat had been
slashed and he had suffered multiple stab wounds before being
bound and set alight in an effort to conceal his identity, the
report said. PTI NC
