The dead body of a 24-year-old Indian-origin student, who was killed after being sexually raped, was found folded in a suitcase in a park in Sydney, a media report told Monday.
Police told the ‘predator’ had stranded until her housemate was away to sexually assault and murder her.
Tosha Thakkar’s dead body was discovered Friday morning in a canal behind the Meadowbank Park in northwestern Sydney. It had been clugged into a big, black, cloth suitcase, The Age stated.
19 year old Daniel Stani-Reginald has been fully charged with raping and murdering Thakkar last week.
The case was mentioned detailed in the Burwood Local Court Monday.
Stani-Reginald, an Australian of Sri Lankan descent, is alleged to have killed Thakker last Wednesday. He was caught Friday night and charged over Thakkar’s murder.
About twenty friends and family members of Thakkar, who had been living in Australia to study accounting, stood at the court, the newspaper said.
‘We are very upset, of course, and are just lining to have justice ASAP. She was very fair, the type that got along with all and she didn’t deserve this, such a painful death,’ The Age quoted a friend as telling outside the court.
Detective Chief Inspector Pamela Young told Thakkar was a respectful young woman and did not hold this at all.
Young told Thakkar’s parents had not yet done plans to come to Australia and police trusted to return her body to India for a proper Hindu funeral service.
