Australian police are investigating one of the country's most harrowing cases in recent memory, centred on the alleged murder of a four-year-old boy on the New South Wales Central Coast. The inquiry has taken an unsettling turn as officers have obtained a court order to forensically examine the child's mother's mouth and fingernails as part of their investigation about whether cannibalism may have occurred.
The 32-year-old woman has been charged with murder after officers discovered the boy's body at a home in Wyong on 4 July, with authorities describing the scene as 'extremely confronting' and confirming that enquiries into the nature of the child's catastrophic injuries remain ongoing.
