Human remains have been found in a parkland area outside of Bendigo, in connection with the case of murdered mother Simone Quinlan.
The remains, which were discovered by a search team on Wednesday, were found in an area near Kangaroo Flats.
They are believed to belong to the 33-year-old mother-of-two who was reported missing and confirmed dead in September.
Three men, Brendan Neil, 28, Dylan Jez, 23, and Wayne Marmo, 24, were charged with her murder last week after an intense investigation.
Quinlan was last seen at service station in Melton, outside of Bendigo, on August the 24th. Police have alleged that the three men murdered Quinlan in Bacchus Marsh on August 26th.
Whilst the remains are yet to be confirmed as belonging to Quinlan, police have confirmed that they will conduct further forensic investigations to prove that the remains belong to Ms Quinlan.
Ms Quinlan had two sons, aged five and 12.
