A mechanical investigation will be done on the truck that killed a Victorian police officer while she was on her way to work on her motor bike.
Samandeep Singh, 26, appeared in the Melbourne Magistrates’ Court on Friday charged with culpable driving over the death of the officer on Thursday morning.
Victoria Police identified D’Arne De Leo as the woman who died in the crash at an EastLink freeway on-ramp in Wantirna just before 9am.
She was hit and trapped under the truck, dying at the scene despite the efforts of emergency services.
Singh was also charged with driving a motor vehicle in a manner that was dangerous to the public, thereby allegedly causing Ms De Leo’s death.
His lawyer Chen Yang said a 10-week mechanical investigation needed to be done on Singh’s truck, and CCTV footage would be prepared formatted for the court.
Singh, who was dressed in hi-vis clothing, did not apply for bail and he was remanded in custody to reappear for a committal mention on May 4.
Valued former Benalla police officer killed in a crash between motorbike and truck
Jane Lee
Former Benalla police officer First Constable D’Arne De Leo had only moved to Melbourne three months ago, before she was killed in a motorcycle crash.
The truck driver accused of causing her death after running a red light has been assessed as suicidal, a court has heard.
Police allege Ferntree Gully man Samandeep Singh, 26, drove through a red light at Boronia Road, Wantirna and crashed into the back of the woman’s motorcycle on Thursday morning, trapping her underneath his truck.
First Constable De Leo died at the scene.
Singh has been charged with culpable driving causing death and dangerous driving.
He appeared in the Melbourne Magistrates Court on Friday.
Defence lawyer Chen Yang said a forensic medical officer diagnosed his client as having “suicidal ideation” after he was arrested.
It was Singh’s first time in custody.
Fairfax Media understands police have not yet interviewed Singh, who will be re-assessed by a psychiatrist or psychiatric nurse to determine whether he requires medication.
He did not apply for bail. Magistrate Andrew McKenna remanded him to appear in court on May 4.
First Constable De Leo worked at Benalla for two-and-a-half years before a transfer to Fitzroy three months ago. She was aged in her 40s and lived in the eastern suburbs.
Benalla Acting Inspector Ash Mason said First Constable De Leo was a well-respected and valued general-duties member who was only at the beginning of her career. “She had a huge career ahead of her and it’s a huge loss,” he said.
“She just wanted to get in, do her job and do it really well.”
Police Association assistant secretary Bruce McKenzie said the union was thinking of her family and the officers who had to attend the crash.
“One of our members has tragically lost her life simply by travelling to work,” he said.
“We have the greatest sympathy for her family at this time.
“We also feel for her police family and for her colleagues who attended (Thursday) morning’s tragic scene. She had only been in the force for a relatively short time.”

INSPECTOR MUIR DROWNED
Police Inspector Muir, who had only left Wagga on Friday last, was drowned, and two companions, Archibald C. Fowler, of Katoomba, and Leslie Roy Whatley, of Woy Woy, were rescued after a sixteen foot launch had overturned on the bar at the entrance to Brisbane Water early on Sunday night.
The party had been on a fishing excursion and rough weather caused the launch to capsize. The men clung to the overturned launch, but Inspector Muir was washed upwards of 100 yards away by a strong current.
Inspector Muir, who was on two months’ leave, was staying at Ettalong before beginning duty in Sydney. He had been transferred from Wagga, where be bad been a very popular officer.
Inspector Muir, of Regent-street Station, was drowned in Brisbane Water when a 16ft launch capsized in the heavy surf on Sunday. Muir was spending a holiday at Woy Woy, and, with two other men, Leslie Whaley and A. Fowler, spent the day fishing.
They were returning to Woy Woy and while crossing the sand bar were caught in a heavy swell. The surf broke over the boat and while the men were bailing out a wave overturned the boat. Whaley and Fowler clung to the upturned boat, but Muir decided to try to swim ashore, using the pine flooring board to assist him, but an hour later the plight of Whaley and Fowler was noticed and a ferry picked them up.
Muir was found 100 yards from the overturned launch unconscious. Attempts to restore animation were unsuccessful.

OBITUARY
WALLACE JONATHAN NASH.
The death occurred at Stratford after many months of ill-health of ex-Constable First-Class Wallace Jonathan Nash. After spending two months in hospital in Sydney he was subsequently discharged from the Police Force and last June came with his wife and son to live with his mother-in-law, Mrs. John Wand, at Stratford.
His health deteriorated over the months and his death at the home of Mrs. Wand was not altogether unexpected.
The late Mr. Nash was well-known and respected in the Gloucester district where he was born and reared. A son of the late Mr. and Mrs. John Nash, he was born 46 years ago at Gloucester River and spent his boyhood and youth at Gloucester River and Bowman.
He joined the N.S.W. Police Force as a young man and up to the time of his discharge had had 20 years and nine months service. He was stationed during that time around the city and was for many years at No. 4 Station in the city. He was last stationed at Chatswood.
In 1928 in Sydney he married Miss Emma Wand, a daughter of the late Mr. John Wand and Mrs. Wand, of Stratford.
He is survived by his wife and one son John. Surviving brothers and sisters are: Charles, Ernest, Sidney, Bert., Mrs. B. Bridge (Upper Lansdowne), Mrs. P. Bridge ( Mount .George), Mrs. C. Boorer. (Mount George) and Mrs. F. Hancock ( Mitchell’s Island). One brother, George, predeceased him 17 years ago.
To the family and relatives we extend our sincere sympathy.

OBITUARY. CONSTABLE E. H. ALLARD.
On Thursday morning last the sad intelligence was received on the Wallamba that First-class Constable Edward Harold Allard, aged 40 years, had succumbed to that dire malady, typhoid fever, in the Maitland Hospital, where he had been a patient for a fortnight.
Deceased was the second son of Mr. H. F. Allard, of Failford, and joined the force about thirteen years ago, having been stationed for many years at Raymond Terrace and latterly at the West Maitland Court House.
The funeral took place at West Maitland, the remains being interred in the C. of E. portion of the Campbell’s Hill cemetery, when a police funeral was tendered to the departed, thirty-one fellow officers being in procession and four of them conveying the bier to its last resting place. Revs. Woodhouse and Kitley officiated conjointly at the graveside ceremonial and the Oddfellows’ burial service was also read by a fellow member, as deceased was a member of the M.U.I.O.O.F.
The chief mourners were the wife and children of deceased and Mesdames Mead, Codey and Miss Annie Allard (sisters), and Messrs Ernest, Gordon and Morton (brothers) and Messrs R. Mead and A. J. Johnson (brothers-in-law), all of whom had arrived prior to death.
The late Constable Allard was a native of Failford and leaves in sad bereavement his wife and three children – Florence Annie (16), Mona (14), and Reginald (13), an aged father, and brothers and sisters.
A large concourse of friends paid the last sad rites, and sympathy is extended to the bereaved and sorrowing.
The Maitland Weekly Mercury Saturday 27 April 1929 p8
FIRST-CLASS CONSTABLE ALLARD
The death occurred in the Maitland Hospital on Thursday from typhoid fever of First-class Constable Edward Harold Allard, who resided at Telarah. Deceased, who was 40 years of age, joined the police force in June, 1916, when he was appointed to Redfern. After six years’ duty, he was transferred to Raymond Terrace, where he remained for a similar term before being removed to West Maitland, nearly two years ago.
He is survived by his wife, two daughter, Florrie and Mona, and one son, Reginald. When the news was received at the West Maitland Police Station, Inspector ( Robert )Graham stated that, apart from the sympathy felt for the deceased officer’s wife and family, he deeply regretted his passing, as it meant the loss of a good man.

Trolling through public member trees on ancestry, came across the below photo of Sgt Foster with his horse at Webonga NSW. Unfortunately it cuts off what may have been the name of his horse nor does the photo have a date. His wife, Evelyn was a horse breeder and trainer, so this could be one of her horses. In another article dated 1992 Evelyn was visited by Chief Superintendent Moeller and 4 members from Police Legacy at Hillsdale Nursing home.

Sergeant Stuart Foster – 10th May 1939 – OIC Murrurundi Police Station
I stumbled across this Sergeant who was 46 years of age at the time of his death. The Sergeant was admitted to Newcastle Hospital for an unknown operation. Complications arising from that operation led to the death of the Sergeant.
It appears Sergeant Foster was attached to the following stations;
Burraga
Oberon
Terry Hie Hie
Pallamallawa
Webonga
Burren Junction
Narrabri
Murrurundi
According to papers he had served 25 years in the Police and was the youngest serving Sergeant at the time in the NSW Police Force.
Sergeant Foster grew up in the Upper Allyn region at the foothills of the Barrington Tops with family spanning across the ridge to the Salisbury and Underbank areas.
The funeral was held at the Church of England in Dungog followed by his internment at the Melbury Cemetery.
Does not appear to be a KoD nor does his name appear on the Honor Roll.
The Cemetery is on private land near Salisbury NSW 2420.

A POLICEMAN LAID TO REST
SIXTEEN POLICE and a large party of citizens from Maitland, Gresford. Dungog, and the districts near by stood in silence in the tiny rural cemetery at Melbury while Sergeant Stuart Foster, officer in charge of Murrurundi Police Station for the last four years, was buried yesterday morning.
After years of service in the larger towns of the State, with all the strains and worry that police work involves, Sergeant Foster was taken back to the quiet bush settlement of his youth. He was born in the Allyn River district, near Gresford.
The funeral was unusual in several ways. At 7.15 yesterday morning the casket was carried from parlours in King street. Newcastle, to a hearse, and accompanied by six police pall-hearers and a police escort of 16 as far as Bank Corner, Newcastle West. From there began a 42-mtile drive to Dungog. For the 42 miles the hearse was accompanied only by a police car, containing the North-eastern District Superintendent (Mr. J. W. White) and Sergeant Pender, and another private car.
At Dungog, however, it was met by another police party of 10 drawn from Dungog, Cessnock, Abermain, Weston, Paterson, and West Maitland, and a long cortege of other cars carrying friends and relatives. From Dungog the funeral drove another 20 miles to the church at Melbury.
The service over, the cortege moved on towards the cemetery. Two hundred yards from the cemetery the cars stopped beside a river. The casket had to be lifted from the hearse and transported across by motor-lorry, while the mourners followed over a narrow log crossing, with wires stretching across waist high on either side as handrails.
The remains were carried to the graveside between the two ranks of the police escort : the first, and possibly the last, that the tiny Melbury cemetery will ever see. Sergeant Foster, who was 46, died in Newcastle Hospital on Wednesday. He is survived r Mrs. Foster (formerly Miss Edmunds, of Melbury) and two daughters.,
A shadow of sorrow spread over Murrurundi and district on Wednesday last when word came to hand of the passing, suddenly, following an operation in the Newcastle District Hospital, of Police Sergeant Stuart Foster, who had been stationed in the town for the past three years, during which time, largely owing to his efficiency, courtesy, and always complacent manner, he made a large circle of friends, all of whom were shocked at the sorrowful occurrence, in which Mrs. Foster and daughters (Misses Marjorie and Dorothy) have much heartfelt sympathy. The late Sergt. Foster was an officer who went about his duties quietly, yet thoroughly, tempered justice with mercy, and if he erred at all, it was in the direction of leniency. And so he won the respect and goodwill of men in every walk of life, with whom he immensely popularised himself. The funeral took place this morning, the cortege moving from the Mulbring Church of England in the Dungog district.

MRS. RICHARDS ILL AT LONG BAY GAOL
Complete Collapse After Ordeal Of Nott Murder Inquiry
MRS. ANNIE ELIZABETH RICHARDS, central figure in the Pilliga murder horror, is seriously ill in bed at the Long Bay Reformatory Hospital. AFTER her nerve-wrecking ordeal at Burren Junction little more than a week ago when she was committed for trial on a charge of having sent George Washington Nott, Pilliga stock and station agent, to his doom, Mrs. Richards was taken to Long Bay Gaol. There, she has received constant medical attention.
HAVING collapsed near the conclusion of the police court proceedings at Burren Junction, the unhappy woman appeared to be much calmer after her committal. Indeed, when Mrs. Richards left by train for Sydney she seemed more content and a smile momentarily transformed her worried face as her husband, Henry Carl Richards, kissed her tenderly a minute before the express departed from Burren Junction. He is also charged with being an accessory. She seemingly retained her good spirits on the long and tiresome trip and chatted on topical subjects with her escort, Detective-Sergeant Alford and Policewoman Mrs. Mooney. She did not sleep. Instead she talked and several times perused newspaper accounts of her statement, a remarkable human document that has gripped and amazed an entire continent.
SADDENED FROM ALL ACCOUNTS THIS SADDENED WOMAN HAD NO QUALMS CONCERNING HER SOJOURN AT LONG BAY, UNTIL THE TIME ARRIVED FOR HER REMOVAL TO NARRABRI, WHERE, IT IS STATED, SHE AND HER HUSBAND WILL FACE A JUDGE AND JURY ON APRIL 4 NEXT, THE DATE OF THE COMMENCEMENT OF THE CRIMINAL COURT SITTINGS IN THE NORTH-WEST.
Being on remand Mrs. Richards is not expected to do labor of any description. She is called upon to make her bed but that is all. She intended to ask permission of the prison authorities to allow her to knit some small tokens of appreciation for Policewoman Mooney and Mrs. Foster, wife of Sergeant Stuart Foster, who is in charge of the Burren Junction Police Station.
THOSE WOMEN DISPLAYED UNENDING KINDNESS TO MRS. RICHARDS DURING HER HOURS OF AGONY AT BURREN JUNCTION.
NOT TO BE
But it was not to be. Once at the reformatory, Mrs. Richards collapsed and had to be put to bed. She has been constantly watched and the best medical attention possible has been secured for her. The gaol authorities have studied her every need, and have taken particular care of her diet, which has consisted mainly of thin bread and butter owing to her physical condition.
And what of her husband, the pleasant-faced drover, the story of whose unshaken love for his wife was told in ‘Truth’ last week. ? He expected to come to Sydney during the week with his solicitor, Mr. K. J. O’Halloran. of Tamworth, to complete arrangements for the defence. HOWEVER, THERE WAS A HITCH IN THE ARRANGEMENTS AND RICHARDS RETURNED TO HIS HUT AT BUGILBONE. BUT, ‘TRUTH’ LEARNS. HE WILL MAKE THE TRIP TO THE CITY TO-MORROW. ONE OF THE FIRST THINGS HE WILL DO WILL BE TO SECURE PERMISSION TO VISIT HIS WIFE AT LONG BAY.

Police Court,
(Before Messrs P. P. Rosenthal and C. G. Hobbes, J’s.P.) TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 25.
Frank Brown (25) was charged with that on February 22, at Terry-Hie-Hie, he did unlawfully assault Albert Duncan. Mr. T. R. Hogan appeared for the complainant, and Mr. A. B. F. Zlotkowski for the defendant, who pleaded not guilty.
Constable Stuart Foster, stationed at Terry-Hie-Hie, deposed: I know the defendant and complainant in this case. In consequence of a complaint made to m« by the complainant, I arrested the defendant at 11 p.m. on the 22nd instant. Both defendant and complainant were present at the time of the arrest. I said to complainant, ” Is this the man who assaulted you ?” He said ‘Yes.’ I said to Brown, ‘Did you assault Duncan?’ He said, ‘I had to defend myself.’
By Mr. Zlotkowski: Hei may have said, ‘What I did I did to defend myself’. He did not say he went over to the camp because, they were fighting over there. He did not say Picket was choking another black and he (Brown) tried to pull him off. He did not say he was hit over the head with a stone while he was pulling the other man off, but he did say he was hit with a stone. He showed me a place on the left temple under the hair. He did not say who hit him with the stone.
Albert Duncan, laborer, residing at Terry-Hie-Hie, deposed: On Saturday night last at about 9 o’clock I was at my own place. My wife was present, also Harry Nean and Mrs. Newman (a midwife). I know defendant. He came from the direction of the mill to my place. We were inside the house when he came. Two men, Gillen and Picket, were fighting near my verandah. Brown came round the corner and said something. I then came out of the house and asked them to get away — to got off the premises. He punched me on the forehead when I said that. I walked back to my room and he said he would kill me. He had a paling which he tore from the fence. He hit me on the top of the head with the paling. Picket took the paling. I then went to my wife’s assistance, who had fainted. I did not assault the defendant in any way.
To the Bench: I heard the men fighting outside. They were fighting a couple of minutes. Picket lives at my place. Gillen does not live there. Picket is my step-father. I have no mark on my head where I was hit. By Mr. Zlotkowski: He did not give me a black eye. The men were fighting for two minutes, but not five minutes. Picket and Gillen are both blackfellows. I was never in any fight before. I have had a bad fall off a horse. The hit defendant gave me was not as bad as that. He did not do me any harm. I am as good a man as ever. Harry Nean, laborer, residing at Terry-Hie-Hie, deposed: I know Brown and Duncan. I was at Duncan’s place about 9 o’clock on Saturday night last. I saw Brown come through the gate. He used some bad language when coming through the gate. Duncan came out of the house and said, ‘Don’t kick up a row here, my wife is not well.’ Brown then struck Duncan somewhere about the face. He hit him with his fist. Duncan then went towards the porch of his home and Brown followed him. He pulled a paling out of the garden and said he would knock his ….. brains out. He hit him with the paling, but struck him with no force. Picket took the paling out of Brown’s hand. Duncan went to his wife.
By Mr. Zlotkowski: There was no trouble when Brown came. Gillen was walking away when Brown came. Duncan was not there when Gillen and Picket were fighting. If he said he saw Gillen and Picket down he was not telling the truth. Picket was down and Gillen was on top of him. Duncan did not come till Brown came. No one hit Brown with a stone. I did not hit Brown. He came to me for protection. He fell against a post where Picket threw him. This was at the finish of the row. Picket was fighting with Brown after Duncan went away. The fight between Duncan and Brown was only a hit. It was a wild fight between Gillen and Picket. Gillen is about 22 years of age, and Picket about 50. I was up once for fighting. I was not referee. By Mr. Hogan : I was up about 18 or 19 years ago for fighting. To the Bench: Brown had liquor on him. Frank Brown, laborer, residing at Terry-Hie-Hie, deposed: I remember the night of the 22nd instant. I went to Duncan’s place to get my horse— Gillen had it. I saw Gillen had Picket down choking him. I pulled Gillen off. I got hit on the head with a stone. Picket threw it. ‘ I did not do anything to Duncan. The stone knocked me down. I did not pick up a paling and I never hit Duncan, nor tried to do so. Duncan was there when the fight was over. I was about ten yards from the verandah. I used no bad language, I work for Mr. Cory. I was only going to get my horse.
By Mr. Hogan: I am not a quarrelsome man. I was convicted for fighting about two years ago. I was fined for being drunk and disorderly three years ago. I was fined £3 for using language, and £1 for resisting the police. I drink. I had one drink on Saturday night. It was beer. Sometimes I use bad language I did not use bad language last Saturday night. I did not hit Duncan, and I did not pull a paling out of the garden to hit Duncan. I did not take a paling at all. Duncan did not hit me, only Picket. I heard women screaming outside, the house. None of the ladies fainted that I know of. I did not get the mark on forehead by falling against a post. By Mr. Zlotkowski: The three convictions mentioned took place at the same time — two years ago.
By the Bench : I saw Picket throw the stone. He was about 5 or 6 yards away. Cecil Cory, drover, Terry-Hie-Hie, deposed : I know the defendant Brown. I have known him since he was 12 years of age. He is a quiet and inoffensive fellow and a good worker. He is not a loafer. By Mr. Hogan: He does not look for fight. He does not drink to any extent. One beer would not upset him. I never knew him to drink rum. He does not swear.
The defendant was convicted and fined £1, with £2 witness’s expenses, and £2 professional costs, in default one month’s imprisonment, with hard labor.
