Sydney, March 02: Human remains found strewn across a major freeway north of Sydney had been run over several times by passing motorists, police say.
The discovery of the body parts was reported to police by one of those motorists, who accidentally ran over a part, at about 11.45pm yesterday near the Gosford exit at Somersby, on the New South Wales Central Coast.
“It appears, at this stage of the investigation, the body has been run over numerous times,” Detective Sergeant Darren Deamer from Gosford police said.
This morning, northbound lanes between Mooney Mooney bridge and the Kariong exit were closed while police combed the area for clues as to how the body parts, which were scattered over 400 metres, came to be on the highway.
It is not yet known if the remains are those of a male or a female.
