The body of a Sydney man police allege was murdered has been found at a property on the city’s northwestern fringes. Edwin Dobbin, 82, was last seen by family at his home in Leppington early on September 25. His body was found by police executing a crime scene warrant at a home in Upper Colo, where Dobbin was believed to be buried. “Police continued to search the property and this afternoon a body was located,” NSW Police said in a statement.

“A post-mortem examination will be conducted to confirm the cause of the man’s death and a report will be prepared for the coroner.” Phillip Robert Bruce, 67, has been charged with murder over Dobbin’s alleged shooting death. Bruce, who police allege is known to Dobbin, was identified during the investigation as being of interest due to providing “conflicting information about the incident multiple times”.
