Police are investigating the death of a woman whose body was reportedly found in a wheelie bin in Victoria’s south-west.

Her body was discovered on Mount Pollock Road in the town of Buckley, about 25km from Geelong, at midday on Saturday.

Footage of the area shows detectives and police near a wheelie bin in bushes on the side of the road. Multiple Melbourne news outlets reported the body was found in the bin.

“Investigators are treating her death as suspicious and a crime scene has been established,” Victoria police said in a statement.

“A second crime scene has been established at a residential address on Mirka Way, Point Cook, and is believed to be connected to the homicide.”

Investigators believe those involved are known to one another and the alleged offender “may have fled overseas”. No arrests have been made.
