Sydney, Australia – Authorities in Sydney, Australia are investigating the tragic deaths of Zhuojun ‘Sally’ Li and her husband Jai-Bao ‘Rex’ Chen as a targeted double murder. The discovery of a man’s body has prompted police to delve deeper into the case, suspecting foul play in the couple’s disappearance. Li, 33, was found deceased in bushland at Sir Joseph Banks Park in Botany, one month after she was reported missing by her mother.
Law enforcement officials are exploring the theory that the suspects responsible for the murders of Li and Chen may have fled to Taiwan and China. Homicide Squad commander Danny Doherty revealed that a second body was located near where Li was found, raising concerns about the safety of Chen, who had also been missing for a month. Despite the body not being formally identified, detectives are operating under the assumption that it is Chen.
Doherty emphasized that the investigation is treating both cases as targeted acts, with Chen likely being the primary target. Authorities believe that the couple was killed at their Greenacre residence before their bodies were relocated to Botany. It is suspected that financial motives may have played a role in the tragic events. Police are working closely with overseas authorities to track down possible suspects who fled abroad.
Moreover, the discovery of a silver Toyota Avensis allegedly used in transporting the bodies has added a new dimension to the investigation. Detectives are urging anyone with information about the car’s movements to come forward and assist in the case. Both Li and Chen have not been seen alive since November, leaving authorities with a complex puzzle to solve in unraveling the circumstances surrounding their deaths.
