Morphett Vale knife search after alleged murder
Major crime detectives are searching southern waterways to find three knives believed to be connected to a murder last month.
SA Police’s Water Operations Unit and Major Crime detectives are searching waterways adjacent to Morphett Vale’s Christie Creek/Martson Reserve for knives they believe are connected to the alleged murder of Cale Leriano.
Leriano, a 24-year-old chef, was found with life-threatening injuries in a red BMW sedan that crashed in Morphett Vale on March 11.
At the time, police said Leriano’s injuries were not consistent with the crash, and his death was declared a major crime.
SAPOL today said investigators have identified three knives they believe were connected to the murder.
