Grim photos have revealed the horrific scene where a young mother’s body was found stuffed inside a wheelie bin which had been left on an isolated road.

The body of Chaithanya ‘Swetha’ Madhagani was discovered just after midday on Saturday inside a green waste bin at Buckley, about 37km west of Geelong.

Photos taken at the site show the bin with a green lid half-hidden in the bushland beside a crumpled bundle of white material, which is laying on the ground nearby.

When police arrived on the isolated road, they found the body of the young mother-of-one had been placed inside the bin.

Sources with knowledge of the investigation told the Herald Sun Ms Madhagani’s husband, Ashok Raj Varikuppala, flew back to India in recent days with the couple’s son.

He rang family members in Victoria and gave them information about her death before agreeing to co-operate with the police investigation, according to the outlet.

Mr Varikuppala has not been accused of any wrongdoing.

Two crime scenes have now been established, one at Mount Pollock Rd and a second at a residential address in Mirka Way in Point Cook in southwestern Melbourne. The sites are about 82km apart.

A police spokesman confirmed the line of investigation at the second scene was linked to the deceased woman.

Mount Pollock Rd, which connects to Princes Highway, was closed off to traffic at 12.30pm.

Eric Lewis, who owns the land either side of where Swetha’s body was found, said he heard of the police search on the “bush telegraph”.

“I’m flabbergasted,” he said.

“What is happening here in Buckley, I just can’t believe it.”

Earlier, photos from the Mount Pollock Rd scene showed a heavy police presence, including a helicopter and members of Victorian Police’s VIPER Taskforce.

“The VIPER Taskforce is a statewide capability that provides a tactical and investigative response to serious and organised crime, including youth gangs and their networks,” Victoria Police stated.

“It delivers a multifaceted intelligence-led response that supports Regional and Specialist Commands.”

Mount Pollock Rd is a gravel stretch with farmland on either side.
