THE body found in a suitcase near York was that of an Oriental woman in her late 20s, it was revealed today.
Those are the conclusions of consultant forensic anthropologist Dr Sue Black, who has been brought in to assist North Yorkshire police in their murder inquiry.
The body was found last month in a case dumped on a country lane near Askham Richard.
Dr Black, from Glasgow University, believes the woman was most likely from the East and South China sea regions. Police said the information assisted greatly as they sought to work through many missing persons reports.
