WA police have arrested the twin of a man whose body was discovered in the backyard of a Perth property on Thursday.
Police, homicide detectives and forensics officers have been at the property on Nye Way in Orelia, south of Perth, since 2.20pm on Thursday.
Police said a family member called and asked them to conduct a welfare check at the home, and when officers attended, a 29-year-old man’s body was found in the backyard with “visible” injuries.
It is unclear if it was concealed in any way.
Detective Inspector Jessica Securo told reporters on Friday the body appeared to be in the backyard for a number of days, but said it was difficult to determine when he had died before forensics officers could deliver a finding.
