A suspicious death?
This article on ABC news website today. Who writes these press releases and do they really think about the info they are producing.
A woman whose body was found hidden at a Brisbane unit complex last month may have been dead for up to 13 years, police say.
The body was found at a unit complex in Alderley, north of Brisbane, by cleaners from the Department of Housing on December 7.
It was partially buried, tightly wrapped and covered in clothing and bedding and hidden behind a brick wall.
A day later police confirmed that remains were female.
After more than a month of testing, police have determined that she was Caucasian, between 155-165 centimetres tall and had dark brown hair.
She wore glasses and size 10 clothing. She was believed to be between 30 and 55 years old.
Police have also revealed there was "trauma" to the woman's body and that they were still treating her death as suspicious.
REALLY ??????

Re: A suspicious death?
Mate, you watch too much ABC by the looks of it but I know what you mean.
There was a case a few years ago in Sydney, an Aboriginal was found hanging from a lamp post, he had been stabbed in the back and shot twice.
Police said it was the worst case of an Aboriginal suicide they had ever seen.


Happy daze John in Oz.
