Condolences. What a terrible event.
Pretty calculated if they dumped the clothing in the bins on bin day – probably thought the cops would get there AFTER the garbage truck got there!
I assume thought that even if the garbage was collected, it would be pretty easy to track down at the tip? Wonder if there is procedures in place for that kind of thing!? Hmmm… interesting!
Do they have a motive yet?
Condolences to the victims family.

Yes i realise it happened yesterday… sorry i re-read my comment as it does say “on bin day”…
Quoted from http://www.canberratimes.com.au/act-news/police-investigate-apparent-stabbing-homicide-in-macgregor-20120329-1vzdy.html
“…Her body had been discovered in her home by a relative about 4pm…”
“…Police had remained at the house until roughly 5am this morning, according to neighbours. Specialist Response and Security officers had arrived back at the scene about 9.30am. They had began searching through neighbouring grassland and bins that lined the street. Clothing was found dumped in a garbage bin, and forensic investigators were called for an examination later in the morning…”
I looked on the TAMS website which states bin day is this morning… if clothing was put in the bin yesterday afternoon, it still would have gone in today’s garbage collection!

The procedure is to search the tip, and no, it’s not fun in any way.
North side crime, might have to start calling it ‘little Sydney’!
Meanwhile, down South in the valley, all is peaceful….
legal_chick86…what i am saying is they don’t have to go through any tip as the bins aren’t emptied till afternoon thursday and the police went through bins wed afternoon after finding the body.
i know…i live 100m from where it happened…

Please don’t come near my side of town. If you come here, you may get crimed in some horrible way. Just stay in the Valley and everything will be fine. Don’t even come here to visit anyone or anything like that. Just stay right where you are.

Did you happen to see the crime map provided a couple weeks ago… southside is just as bad as anywhere else!

I get what you are saying – the comments about the tip was a general comment as it lead me to wonder what happens if they did have to go to the tip.
