What appeared to be a woman’s body found in a suitcase by the side of a road near Goulburn in regional New South Wales was in fact a lifelike doll with markings resembling bruises and grazes, police say. Officers travelled to the remote location and located what was believed to be the body in the suitcase. A police statement declaring a “a body in a suitcase” had been found was issued to media on Sunday night, leading to widespread coverage. But on Monday morning Supt Linda Bradbury told a press conference that police now did not “have a suspicious death of a human on our hands”. A crime scene was established and the suitcase was “seized to undergo forensic examination while detectives commence an investigation into the incident”.
