Suspicious Death: Body Found in Remote Terragon Stockyard
6 Oct
Summary
- A badly decomposed body, believed to be a woman, was found in a disused stock dip.
- Police are treating the death as suspicious due to the remote location and lack of transport.
- Investigators are checking missing persons records in NSW and Queensland.
A suspicious death investigation is underway in Terragon, northern NSW, following the discovery of a badly decomposed body. The remains, believed to be female, were found partially submerged in a disused stock dip on a remote property. Two trail bike riders made the grim discovery on Monday.
Authorities were alerted to the scene around 11:20 am and immediately established a crime scene. Due to the advanced state of decomposition, identification of the body and the exact time it was placed there are difficult. Police are treating the death as suspicious given the isolated location and the lack of any accompanying vehicle or transport.
Investigators are actively cross-referencing the discovery with missing persons records from both New South Wales and Queensland. A post-mortem examination is anticipated in the coming days to assist in identifying the individual and determining the cause of death. Terragon is situated in the Tweed Shire, close to the Queensland border.
