The body of a 36-year-old woman from Hyderabad was found inside a waste bin on the side of a road in Victoria’s Buckley in Australia.
The woman has been identified as Chaithanya Madhagani. Her husband, Ashok Raj Varikuppala, left Australia and flew to India with the couple’s son, thereby intensifying the investigation.
In a statement, Victoria Police said that homicide squad detectives are investigating “after a deceased person was located in Buckley, near Winchelsea, this afternoon”.
“Officers located the deceased person on Mount Pollock Road about midday,” the statement added.
The police said that a second crime scene had been established at a residential address on Mirka Way, Point Cook, and is believed to be connected to the Buckley homicide.
“Investigators are treating the death as suspicious. At this stage in the investigation, it is believed the parties involved are known to one another and the offender may have fled overseas. There is no immediate threat to the community and no arrests have been made,” the statement by the Victoria Police added.
