Body In Suitcase Probed
A body has been found hidden in a suitcase and dumped into a now dried-up pond.
The remains, thought to be that of a woman, were discovered in the case in a dried-up pond on farmland in Kent.
Kent Police said the area off Buckland Road in Cliffe, near Rochester, had been sealed-off.
The grisly find was uncovered shortly before 1.30pm on Thursday in a dried-out pool known locally as "the old pond".
Nearby Buckland Road has also been shut as investigations continue.
A post mortem examination is expected to take place later and the death is being treated as suspicious.
Police said inquiries were under way to establish the identity of the body and at the moment, the cause of death is not yet known.
