Two children, whose mother was allegedly murdered, have suffered another blow with a reported burglary of their family home.
Kesar and her older brother, who has not been named, lost their mother Amar Sardar in February after their father Yadwinder Singh allegedly murdered her with a tractor slasher.
Mr Singh remains in prison as he awaits trial, reportedly leaving Kesar, 13, and her brother in the care of their aunt Simran Sardar.
The pair relocated from their farm at Woodhill, near Logan in Queensland, to live in Sydney after their mother’s funeral.
They packed light on the trip over, leading Ms Sardar to drive 10 hours back to the family farm to collect more of the childrens’ belongings.
But when she arrived, she found the property ransacked.
Queensland Police have charged a 30-year-old Flagstone man with two counts of entering a premises and committing an indictable offence, as well as trespassing.
A Current Affair reported police would allege any looters targeted the property after detectives had finished their investigation and gathering evidence on-site.
Almost $200,000 in assets were gone, the family alleged, marking a major blow to the two children.
Police have tried and failed to find most of the lost possessions, the program reported.
Among the items lost, according to police, was a new washing machine and dryer, an air fryer, printer, drill set and angle grinder. Multiple vehicles including a Jeep, tractor and trailer were also reportedly taken.
“Anything that was special to me, just gone,” Kesar told A Current Affair.
“What am I meant to do?
“I felt terrible. Like all the things that I kept so close to me, they’re all gone now.
“(The looters) probably didn’t even care about anything that’s happened to us, they just thought ‘Oh (another) chance to make some money’.”
Ms Sardar and her husband have three children of their own, adding to the burden when they became legal guardians to Kesar and her brother.
In response, a crowd-funding campaign was launched to support the family financially, and eventually pay for the further studies of the children.
“I’m going to support the kids as much as I can and any help is a big help for us now … groceries, petrol, anything which can help raising these kids,” Ms Sardar said.
