00:04About 2.30pm yesterday, police were called to bushland adjacent to Avian Crescent at Lane Cove in relation to a
00:12suspicious item.
00:13On arrival, police located a sofa-style storage couch, and within that couch were human remains.
00:21A forensic examination later identified those human remains to be the torso of an adult male person.
00:29Those remains have been conveyed to the Institute of Forensic Medicine at Lickham for further examination.
00:37Strikeforce Nivol has been established and we are working closely with the Homicide Squad, Region Resources and Specialist Areas of
00:44the NSW Police Force to investigate this matter.
00:47We are working around the clock to identify this male and determine what has led to his death and the
00:53disposal of his remains.
