Police in Australia have found the body of a missing Sydney dentist stuffed inside a suitcase.
Preethi Reddy, 32, had been reported missing by her family on Sunday after she did not come home from a dental convention in St Leonards, a suburb of Sydney.

She was captured on CCTV inside McDonald’s at the Strand Arcade in central Sydney about 2.15am on Sunday and appeared to leave alone, CNN affiliate 7 News Australia reported.

The car crash

On Tuesday, police located her car parked on a street in Kingsford, south of the city center. A search of the vehicle located Reedy’s body in a suitcase. She had been stabbed “numerous times,” police said.

“Further inquiries have established that Preethi stayed at a hotel on Market Street, Sydney CBD, on Sunday with a man known to her,” they said in a statement.
That man, who has not been identified, was killed in a car crash on a highway late Monday night. Police said they believed the collision was a “deliberate act.”

Numerous patients of Reddy’s posted messages of condolences for her family on the surgery’s Facebook page.
