Quote:Indian toddler found dead, Australian police clueless
MELBOURNE: A team of homicide detectives are searching for clues a day after a three-year-old Indian boy was found dead near Melbourne airport following his sudden disappearance from a house 20 km away.
The body of Gurshan Singh Channa was found on Wildwood Road, Oaklands Junction Thursday night after a massive search following complaint by his parents who were staying in Lalor on a holiday.
The incident came to light after Australian Foreign Minister Stephen Smith visited New Delhi Wednesday in the wake of series of attacks against Indians Dawn Under.
An autopsy on the toddler's body has not revealed how he died. Further forensic tests will be conducted to ascertain the cause of death, police said Friday.
The boy's mother Harpreet Kaur Channa called the police 45 minutes after he went missing. Police said the boy was found in the same clothes he was wearing when he went missing - a grey top and blue jeans.
They, however, declined to give details of injuries he had suffered, or to speculate on the precise cause of his death, according to The Age.
Detective Inspector Steve Clark, who is heading the investigation into the case, said Friday an autopsy has been conducted but the results were inconclusive.
He said police were appealing for anyone who witnessed the body being dumped near Oaklands Junction or who saw the boy in the streets around his parent's Lalor home after he went missing.
Detectives were returning to Lalor Friday to re-interview neighbours and people who were living in the house with the boy's parents.
Gurshan's parents have asked to see the boy's body and arrangements will be made for them to see him at the Coroner's Court today, where they are also receiving counselling.
Death to traitors.
