‘Dog collar’ found on woman’s body

A COUNCIL worker has discovered a woman’s body with a pink “dog collar” around the neck after following drag marks into bushes.

A COUNCIL worker who was mowing the grass at a popular Sydney park on Wednesday discovered the body of a woman after following drag marks into the bushes.

The grim discovery was made at about 7.30am at Buffalo Creek Reserve in Hunters Hill on Sydney’s lower north shore.

The worker, who was visibly shaken as police led him away from the horrific scene, found the woman with her hands bound with tape and a pink “dog’s collar” around her neck.

She was also wearing dark polka-dot clothing and was found near playground equipment, in a popular children’s birthday party spot, The Daily Telegraph reported.

The Homicide Squad is investigating the suspicious death of the woman, whose remains were left near a main road and are yet to be identified.

The body of a woman was found at Buffalo Creek reserve, a playground at Hunters Hill Picture: Jenny Evans.

The body was lying at the end of drag marks in the dirt that extended for about 30 metres, it’s understood.

A crime scene was established at the reserve and police began canvassing the area for witnesses.

“I am very shocked, I expected to go for a dog walk — obviously, that’s not going to happen,” one resident told Channel 9 news.

Police were unable to confirm the woman’s identity or age but said there were no signs of decomposition.

Anyone with information about this incident is urged to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.
