His orange Ford was found at Salisbury Downs on Wednesday morning, from which police hope to recover fingerprints and DNA.

A man whose former partner and two children live at the Para Hills house, claimed the victim was lured to the random address via a fake Facebook page setup although the exact nature of these claims have not been substantiated.

"It looks like someone has set him up," the man, Liam, claimed.
