The NT News was sent an anonymous letter — which was provided to police on Tuesday — which claims the remains of Mr Falconio, who was murdered by Bradley John Murdoch in the Territory Outback in July 2001, are buried in remote Western Australia.

The typed one-page A4 letter, sent via Air Mail from an Australian expat now living in London, claims Murdoch rang a criminal associate — who the NT Newshas not named — to meet him in the Outback after he had killed Mr Falconio.

“Murdoch had cut the body up and put it in two large … bags that were watertight and smell proof. He told (the associate) to go straight back to Perth and dissolve the body parts in acid and put what was left in (Perth’s) Swan River.”
