The person who discovered the car told Courier Mail they believed the car was the same as one that had been reported as stolen on a local crime watch page.
‘The rear door was unclipped so I pull that open…on the left side there was a plastic crate wrapped in bags and tape…on the right-hand side was the potential of two hands and two feet, like they’ve been in water for a long time, white and wrinkly,’ they said.
‘You can see a stripy dress shirt on some sort of body… and a head of hair wrapped in clear plastic, and it’s covered in condensation like it’s in the fridge or freezer.’
More to come.
