As Daily Mail reports, it has now been officially confirmed that the body found yesterday, Tuesday afternoon, is that of 33-year-old Jai-Bao 'Rex' Chen.
Just eight days earlier, a jogger discovered the decomposed body of his wife, Zhuojun 'Sally' Li († 33), wrapped in plastic ten meters away.
It was still unclear why the couple died. Now the police are releasing new details. Accordingly, the 33-year-old is said to have owed a loan shark a considerable amount of money – probably due to his gambling addiction.

The unknown donor is now the focus of the investigation. It was examined whether the man could have had something to do with the couple's death.

NSW Police believe Zhuojun 'Sally' Li was unaware of the extent of her husband's debts.
The double murder is said to have started in the couple's home. The perpetrators then dumped the bodies in a stream near Sydney Airport.
The police suspect that those possibly involved in the crime may have fled abroad – for example to China or Taiwan. It is not clear whether she had contact with the loan shark in question.

The drug environment is also being investigated. Jai-Bao “Rex” Chen is said to have been convicted of drug offenses several times before his death. According to the police, there may be a connection to the terrible crime.
