Who Brutally Murdered Michelle Leng?

It was just after 10.30 this morning, police were called to Snapper Point following reports a woman's body was found face down in a blowhole.

On the morning of Sunday 24 April 2016, a group of tourists were exploring the rugged coastline of the Munmorah State Conservation Area on the central coast of New South Wales in Australia when something caught their attention below the lookout at Snapper Point.

At first, they couldn't tell what they were looking at, but then it rolled over and the horrifying truth became unmistakable.

It was the naked body of a young woman floating face down as the waves dragged her violently across the jagged rocks.

Police were called immediately and a dangerous recovery operation began along the slippery coastline.

A rescue helicopter went down to retrieve the body.

Detectives quickly ruled out any possibility of an accident.

The young woman had been stabbed almost 40 times, with the fatal wound to her throat.

They believed she had been deliberately left there, not carried in by the sea.

The Westpac rescue helicopter was sent to retrieve that body.

Unfortunately, that woman couldn't be revived.

She'd suffered a number of stab wounds to her neck.

She had no identification, no phone, no bag, and nothing to reveal who she was or how she had ended up on a stretch of coastline.

Now, the homicide squad is leading the investigation into this suspicious death.

Police have no idea who this woman is, except for the fact that she's Asian.

She's aged between 20 and 35.

She has black shoulder-length hair, and she's yet to be formally identified.

Anybody who knows this woman or knows anything about this crime is urged to contact police.

It would take homicide detectives days just to learn her name and to find out who had murdered her.

And when they finally did, the answer was far closer to home than anyone could have imagined.
