POLICE are still calling for any information that may help them piece together the circumstances surrounding the death of a man whose body was discovered at the Hallam Road Landfill earlier this month.
Police were called to the Hampton Park facility after a machinery operator discovered the man’s body about 8am on Tuesday 9 September.
It’s now believed the man was last seen walking along Narre Warren-Cranbourne Road in Narre Warren just before midnight on Monday 8 September.
He was last seen wearing a white tracksuit top and blue shorts.
Casey CIU detectives are asking anyone who may have information about the man’s movements prior to the discovery of his body to come forward.
Victoria Police previously reported the man was a 34-year-old from Endeavour Hills, but detectives now say he was 25 years old.
Detective Senior Sergeant Shane O’Connell earlier this month said police believed the body was brought in by a truck sometime in the morning on 9 September and dumped, but were unsure how long the man had been dead.
“The coroner is investigating at the moment and will do a post-mortem,” he said.
“It’s very disturbing.
“No-one deserves to be in the position this gentlemen has found himself in.”
It’s understood police are planning to set up an information caravan in relation to the incident in the next few weeks.
Anyone with any information is urged to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or submit a confidential crime report at www.crimestoppersvic.com.au.
