The “victim” was really a lifelike mannequin, according to Australian police who were called in to look into a corpse discovered in a bag.
About 230 kilometers (143 miles) southwest of Sydney, close to the little community of Oallen, two men found the luggage on the side of the road.

The contents of the bag were “mistaken for a human originally, so they are very realistic in terms of looking like human remains,”
According to Hume Police District Supervisor Linda Bradbury.However, we have verified by alternative methods that they are not.
According to authorities, “the item also had markings that resembled bruises and grazes” in addition to the doll’s clothing, hair, and nose piercing.
All procedures had been followed, according to Superintendent Bradbury, who stated that detectives and forensic teams had visited the location on Sunday.
Bradbury stated that she had “no regrets” regarding the way the case was handled. “The idea is to not disturb crime scenes as much as possible, to maintain the integrity of our investigation,” she added.
Bradbury informed the journalists a few hours prior that the two guys who discovered the bag had made “quite a shocking discovery” of it.Regretfully, they stopped for a break while driving over the weekend, as many people do,” she remarked.

The two had taken the “right decision” to disclose the discovery, according to her.
They were impacted yesterday, and we will contact them to inform them that it was not human remains,” Bradbury stated.
