The cause of death is yet to be determined with police still waiting on a toxicology and coroner’s report.
Detective Inspector Claudia Allcroft said the cause of death is difficult to determine due to the lengthy amount of time the bodies were left undiscovered.
“Detectives are interested in speaking with anyone who may have seen or who may have information about the women’s movements in the days and weeks prior to their deaths – which we believe occurred in early May,”
- Detective Inspector Claudia Allcroft
“Extensive inquiries have been made by Strike Force Woolbird detectives; however, we have been unable to determine the exact circumstances surrounding Asra and Amaal’s death.”
Police have contacted the sister's family in Saudi Arabia who are now assisting police with their investigations.
Authorities were alerted to the women’s absence after their landlord reported they had missed rental payments for over a month.
Police are currently treating the deaths as suspicious due to the strange circumstances.
Anyone with information is urged to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.
