Hor-ror Suitcase Discovery Sparks Police Investigation in NSW – Shocking Discovery Leaves Police Stun-ned
What were believed to be decomposed remains stuffed in a suitcase discovered in bushland in NSW yesterday are not human, police have revealed in a shock twist to the investigation.
Police were called to the grisly discovery in Oallen, about 60 kilometres south of Goulburn, at 12.50pm on Sunday.
Police say what were believed to be human remains in a dumped suitcase in NSW are not human at all. Nine
Police were called to the site yesterday. Nine
Superintendent Linda Bradbury said the contents of the suitcase had initially been mistaken for the remains of a human woman.
She said police did not, as a habit, significantly disturb human remains at a crime scene, meaning the contents of the suitcase had not been closely examined.
But testing this morning proved they were not human – though Bradbury said further testing would be needed to determine what their provenance was.
The suitcase may have held a doll-like object.
“So some good news here that we don’t have a suspicious death of a human on our hands,” she said.
“They are very realistic in the terms of looking like human remains, but we’ve confirmed by other means that they are not.”
She confirmed police would continue to investigate the incident.
Speaking to Today earlier this morning, Bradbury said a couple were out for a drive when they came across the discovery.
“They were out on a weekend drive as a lot of people do when they stopped for a break and found it,” she said.
“Quite a shocking discovery for them, absolutely.”
After finding out the remains were not human, Bradbury said the couple who made the discovery did the right thing in calling police.
“Members of the public did initially think they’d come across human remains,” she said.
