Wellington: New Zealand has confirmed the identities of two children whose remains were found stuffed inside suitcases, police said on Friday.
While it has been said that their identity will be made public, further investigation into the matter is underway.
According to reports, the matter came to light after an unsuspecting family bought a trailer-load of items — including the suitcases — at an auction for abandoned goods near Auckland, the country’s biggest city.
On the other hand, police have said the family who purchased the suitcases are not connected to the deaths.
The children are believed to have been primary school-aged when they died, according to police.
