Remains of two children found in two suitcases auctioned in New Zealand

New Zealand police on Thursday confirmed that human remains found in two suitcases bought at an Auckland auction were those of two primary school-aged children, and officers vowed to find those responsible.

Detective Inspector Tofilau Faamanuia Vaaelua said it's likely the bodies were in storage for several years, adding that the victims are thought to have been between five and ten years old.

The children were concealed in two suitcases of similar size, he said.
