Police investigating the discovery of a woman’s body in a bin near Winchelsea have established a secondary crime scene at Point Cook.
The grim find was made on Mount Pollock Road in Buckley, about 30km from Geelong, at around midday on Saturday.
“Investigators are treating (the woman’s) death as suspicious and a crime scene has been established,” a police spokesperson said.
Shortly after police were seen cordoning off a home in Mirka Way, Point Cook.
Homicide detectives have travelled from Melbourne and are now at the Buckley property, which sits among homesteads in the small town that has a population of around 200.
Members of the police Viper Taskforce, which targets organised crime, are also on scene.
Police confirmed to Geelong Broadcasters that they believe the home in Pt Cook may be linked to the woman’s death.
The neat suburban home, in a recently-developed area on Point Cook’s southern edge, is surrounded by police tape. Two officers in a divisional van are guarding the property.
No arrests have been made.
