“Police have made contact with the man’s family in India as well as the Indian Consulate in order to assist in the identification process,” The Age quoted the police, as saying.
Griffith Local Area Command Crime Manager, Detective Inspector Paul Smith said police had received a significant amount of information from the public following the death.
“I would like to thank members of the public for coming forward and providing valuable information contributing to our investigation into the man’s death,” he said.
However, police are appealing to anyone who travelled along Wilga Road or North Kooba Settlers Road between midnight on December 28 and on December 29.
“Irrespective of whether motorists believe they saw anything or not, we would love to speak to anyone who travelled along these two roads during that time,” Smith said.
Anyone with information which could help police is urged to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000. (ANI)
