Body of Child Found In Suitcase

How horrific.

A group of children playing in an Australian park Wednesday opened a suitcase they found floating in a pond and discovered the body of a youngster inside, police said.

Police divers searched the pond in the Sydney suburb of Rosemeadow and sought potential witnesses in a hunt for clues to who the boy was and how he died.

Detective Chief Inspector Gary Clark said identifying the body was difficult because it had been in the water for some time, but officials believed it was a boy between 5 and 10 years old. A forensic examination of the body would start on Thursday.

  1. Hey everybody.

    I am actually here in Australia as I send this and this story is just horrible! 

    The boys that found the suitcase are going in for counseling tomorrow.  I can’t imagine!


    There is a story here that is even bigger than this though (for Australians) and was breaking news every night since I’ve been here:

    Imagine a football team firing a player for doing drugs in the States!!!
