Police were called to a rural property in Sydney’s south-west on Wednesday where the body of a 23-year-old was found with extensive injuries. Investigators described the scene as a crime scene and indicated the victim may have been attacked by animals before dying. About eight unregistered, non-microchipped dogs lived on the Eschol Park property, according to a local radio station. Detectives from Campbelltown City have opened an inquiry, which will be forwarded to the coroner.
