Salvin Singh in an earlier photo with his daughters Sanah and Samarah before the girls were found dead at the Nausori Highlands.
Salvin Singh looks up, mumbles something and then keeps quiet.
He does not have any mental health problem which makes him do that.
But, the reason why he does it is because of the love and never-ending memories he has for his two daughters.

Whenever he does that, he communicates spiritually with his daughters, asks them how they are and tells them to take care until they meet again.
The bodies of his daughters Sanah, 11, and Samarah, 8, were found in the Nausori Highlands on August 26. His ex-wife, Nileshni Kajal, 34, and former in-laws Nirmal Kumar, 63, and Usha Kumar, 54, of Legalega in Nadi were also found dead beside them.
A post-mortem examination that was carried out revealed that they had ingested some chemical which caused their deaths.
Police are awaiting the result of further tests to ascertain which chemical caused the deaths of the five people.
