Police release bodycam footage of the moment before police discovered decomposing body

Police have released the footage from bodycams worn by police as they checked on a man whose decomposing body was found inside the home.

Shocking new footage has emerged of the moments before police discovered a man’s decomposing body, the day after another man was charged with his murder.

Family members living out-of-state first raised the alarm with police that prompted them to conduct a welfare check on 69-year-old Tomislav Nemes on April 17.

When officers visited his Benowa home they discovered his remains.

A 48-year-old man was charged with his murder on Tuesday.

Now police have released the bodycam footage worn by police that reveals what happened in the moments leading up to the grim discovery.
