UPDATE: A SKELETON found at Glen Aplin south of Stanthorpe is believed to have been there for ‘some time’, according to police.
Detective Inspector David Isherwood told Brisbane media this morning, Friday 2 December, the remains which were discovered yesterday afternoon could have been at the property from “a month to six months“.
Police have confirmed the remains are believed to be of a male person.
“At this point in time, we’d like to hope we can get one (a time of death) from the post-mortem but look, when they’re decomposed to a state of skeletal remains, it can quite often take some more time,” he said.
He said police believed the body was clothed.
Det Insp Isherwood said part of the remains were found by a member of the public, the rest later being located by police, on a property on Kerridges Road at Glen Aplin, south of Stanthorpe around 5pm yesterday, Thursday 1 December.
“The fact that they’ve gone to nearly all skeletal remains would indicate they’ve been there for some time but at this point in time, until the experts actually do an examination, we won’t be able to determine that timeframe,” he said.
