Asia-Pacific Adelaide body count reaches 10 Suspects Wagner, Bunting and Haydon arriving at court Australian police have excavated a second body from an Adelaide garden, taking the death toll in the country's worst serial murder investigation to 10. Police are expecting the death toll to rise Detective Superintendent Paul Schramm said the body was found about 10ft below ground and roughly beneath the body previously discovered in the garden.
Police believe the body of one more missing person is still to be found.
But Det Supt Schramm said he did not expect to find that body in the grounds of the house where the other remains were recovered. Three men from Adelaide have been arrested in connection with the macabre discoveries. Police said all the victims had been on missing persons lists, and they were investigating possible links between the murders and social security fraud. Some of the missing persons benefits were being collected until quite recently. However, police say they have not yet established a common link between all the victims, because some of them were not recipients of social security payments.
