Mystery in Australia: A dismembered body was found inside a sofa discarded in a forest in northern Sydney, without a head, hands and legs. Police launched a murder investigation after residents reported a strong odor coming from a wooded area in Lane Cove North. Officers called to the scene located a sofa thrown among the bushes, about five meters from the road, and inside it the upper torso of a person, apparently an adult male. The victim's identity has not yet been determined, and searches for the missing body parts continue with the help of a cadaver dog and a police aviation unit. Local police commander Paul Devaney said there is no indication that the man was murdered at the scene, and that the investigation is in its early stages. Local residents expressed shock, as the area is described as quiet and safe. Police asked anyone who was in the area in recent weeks to submit footage from security cameras or vehicles.
