A partially submerged body believed to be a woman has been discovered in a remote stockyard, with the death being treated as suspicious. Officers were called to a property in Terragon, near Murwillumbah in northern NSW, at about 11.20am on Monday after reports of a dead body. The body, which is yet to be identified, was found partially submerged in a disused stock dip, a large trough commonly used to bathe livestock in anti-parasite solutions, police said.
Police said the body was badly decomposed. The grim discovery was made by two trail bike riders in an area deemed crown land. A crime scene was set up overnight, with specialist forensic examiners combing the area.
Police were checking through missing persons registers in NSW and Queensland, Zimmer said. A postmortem examination is expected to be carried out in coming days to help identify the body and the cause of death. Terragon is located in Tweed Shire, roughly 40km from the NSW-Queensland border.
