Truckie Mohinder Bajwa Singh injected meth and was falling asleep during a shift on the day before he crashed and killed four police officers in Kew, a witness has testified.
However, Singh’s family and work colleagues have told a court they had no idea that the truck driver was on the drug ‘ice’.
Simonia Tuteru, 49, who was Singh’s supervisor at Lyndhurst-based Connect Logistics, faced manslaughter charges at a committal hearing at Melbourne Magistrates’ Court on 17-20 May.
A prosecution witness Glenys Nannup stated that she’d injected ice with Singh during his shift early on 21 April 2020 – the day before the fatal crash on the Eastern Freeway.
