Story summary

On Monday around 11:20 am, police responded to a call about a body found partially submerged in a livestock trough on a property along Kyogle Road in Terragon, 20 kilometers south-west of Murwillumbah, northern New South Wales. The grim discovery was made by two trail bike riders in an area considered crown land. Authorities established the site as a crime scene and began forensic examinations to determine identity and cause of death. Inspector Matthew Zimmer from Tweed/Byron Police District stated that due to the body's location, decomposition, and lack of transportation evidence, they are treating the death as suspicious. The body is believed to be female but cannot yet be identified due to its condition.
