Children whose bodies were discovered in a suitcase may have been dead for several years before being discovered. Police believe that the children discovered dead in two separate suitcases could have died several years ago and had likely been in storage at a facility in South Auckland, New Zealand for at least three or four years.
The children are said to be around primary school age. South Auckland Detective Inspector Tofilau Faamanuia Vaaelua confirmed that the bodies were found on August 11 and post-mortems conducted on the bodies indicate that the children may have died a number of years ago.
According to the Mirror, the grim discovery was made after the storage unit was sold to a family as part of an auction. The suitcase was in the back of a trailer where other items such as children's toys were strewn about, according to a neighbour.
