> The best practice for investigating potential bodies inside things like wheelie bins and suitcases is not to open it, but to X-ray it, Paola Magni, a Murdoch University forensic science associate professor, said.

> Even after realising they had a doll, forensic examiners likely would have had to fully continue inspecting it for traces of evidence like semen or other DNA in case it was associated with another suspicious case.

Maybe the NSW police should have rushed the suitcase to the forensic lab's X-ray machine, and held off on announcing that they found a body?
