The human remains found in suitcases bought as part of an auction for abandoned goods in a storage unit in South Auckland are two young children.
The NZ Herald reported earlier today from several sources that the remains are two young children, which was later confirmed to reporters by Detective Inspector Tofilau Faamanuia Vaaelua.
He said the bodies - found at a Manurewa property on August 11 are two children - are primary school-aged, as ascertained by the post-mortem report.
Early indications are that the children could have been deceased for a number of years before being found, he told journalists this afternoon.
Vaaelua said he understands the discovery will be deeply upsetting for the community.
Police are still in the early stages of their investigation, he explained, but the children appear to have been dead for a number of years.
Police are following “positive lines of inquiry” in terms of the storage unit rental, Vaaelua said.
He said the children were aged between 5 and 10 and police were working on establishing when and where they died.

So very horrible.
