Headless torso found in stream

A body has been found in an Australian stream without a head, legs or hands.

The torso was found wrapped in plastic by a man walking his dog.

Police said a post mortem examination carried out in Brisbane established the man was aged 30 to 35.

The torso was found in Lockyer Creek, near Helidon, behind a toilet block.

Police divers searched the stream but found nothing to help their investigations, reports the Melbourne Age.

A spokeswoman said the torso was badly decomposed but that it had a heart-shaped birthmark. The missing body parts have not been found.
