Forensic specialists and homicide detectives are investigating after police found the unidentified torso inside a couch and believe it belonged to an adult man.
- On Wednesday at 2:30 pm, police discovered a human torso inside a couch dumped in bushland off Avian Crescent in Lane Cove North, with forensic specialists attending after locals reported an 'odour'.
- The couch was located about 5m into rugged bush in Mowbray Park, where it had been abandoned sometime over the past two days before residents alerted authorities.
- Detectives from the Homicide Squad have taken over the case, working to identify the victim believed to be an adult male while collaborating 'closely with the missing persons registry'.
- Superintendent Paul Devaney described the scene as 'confronting' to first responders, stating police are 'working around the clock' to identify the man with 'no indication that this person met foul play within the area of Lane Cove'.
- Anyone with information is urged to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 as NSW Police continue examining the unidentified human remains for post-mortem analysis.
