Singh is said to have called emergency services to report his wife’s death. Paramedics were unable to save her.
Police took both of the couple’s phones as evidence and detectives are examining recordings found on the devices. Brisbane times reported.
It is believed that the content contains videos taken from each other and require translation.
The couple have two teenage children and owned the 55-hectare estate, which includes animals and sugar cane.
According to court documents, Singh is a truck driver born in India.

“There were some observations that our investigators made during our initial triage of the crime scene that caused us to be concerned that some tampering of the crime scene may have occurred,” Detective Chris Knight said.
“He reported that his wife had passed away and some limited follow-up questions were asked to him by the (ambulance) operators.”
Singh’s case was heard at Beenleigh Magistrates Court on Friday. Police prosecutor Karine Evans said a pathology report would take three months.
“There will also be a lengthy delay regarding the forensic and mechanical (evidence of the allegedly) involved tractor,” she said.
“There were quite a number of recordings on both the suspect and victim’s phones that needed to be translated, so these will likely be the longest delays.”
Singh was in custody until June.
