The alleged mistress of a Gold Coast man whose pregnant wife was kidnapped and murdered in India last month has been taken in for questioning by Australian Federal Police. The body of Gold Coast aged care nurse Ravneet Kaur, 29, was found in a canal in the Punjab region on March 25. She had gone missing 11 days earlier after travelling to India with her four-year-old daughter to visit relatives.–– Indian police allege Ms Kaur, who was four months pregnant, had travelled to her parents’ village when on March 14, she stepped outside to take a video call from her husband, Jaspeet Singh, back home on the Gold Coast. She was allegedly snatched off the streets in broad daylight and was never seen alive again.

Mr Singh was questioned by AFP officers at Surfers Paradise station.

The notorious paedophile last month found again to have abused young boys will remain in the nursing home where he lives with debilitating and irreversible dementia and Parkinson’s disease. Justice David Mossop on Friday said neither the prosecution nor the defence said it would be appropriate for 87-year-old John “Kostka” Chute to be taken into custody. The judge also said custody would not be appropriate given his age, health and personal circumstances, as well as the absence of any risk to the community. Chute, also known as Brother Kostka, faced 16 charges as against six victims between 1979 and 1986. There were 14 counts of indecent assault of a minor, one charge of buggery without consent and one charge of an act of indecency with a minor. Brother Kostka had been found unfit to plead and faced a special hearing by judge alone. Late last month Justice Mossop returned not guilty verdicts on the count of buggery and a count of indecent assault.
