Appeal to identify two women as investigations continue into death of Luke Jon Telega

Police would like to speak to two women who may be able to help police as they investigate how the body of Luke Jon Telega ended up in an industrial-sized bin.

Police have appealed for public assistance in identifying two women who may be able to assist investigations into the death of Tasmanian father Luke Jon Telega.

The body of Mr Telega was found inside an industrial-sized bin behind a Salvation Army at Percy Street in Bellerive on Monday morning.

His movements leading up to the heartbreaking discovery are now being pieced together by police.

CCTV footage has revealed the 45-year-old caught a bus at Tollard Drive in Rokeby just after 4.30pm on May 30.

A woman, dressed in a grey or white hoodie, is seen getting on the bus at the same time as Mr Telega, and then off again in the carpark of the Shoreline Hotel about 4.38pm.

Earlier, police appealed to speak with a woman shown on CCTV footage standing at a shopfront on Percy Street about 7.50pm on June 1.

Police believe the member of the public may have spoken with someone on the street at the time.

She was driving what is believed to be a light-coloured Toyota Prado.

Anyone with information that could assist with the investigation is urged to call Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.
