I wouldn't put it beyond the Daily Mail newspaper reporters to go back for another sniff at the next home open.
Inside the apartment where two Saudi sisters were left decomposing
Asra Abdullah Alsehli, 24, and Amaal Abdullah Alsehli, 23, died a month before their bodies were found in their Canterbury unit, in Sydney's south-west. The unit is for lease and still smells like decay.www.dailymail.co.uk
I think if someone did murder them, they had moved in with them. I don't think they snuck in.
If they were running out of money, the two sisters could have shared one of the bedrooms and sublet one of the other rooms to someone else.

What is interesting about all the press coverage is that there has been little systematic investigation by journalists, apart from the ABC Background Briefing. And they missed lines of enquiry too. For instance, Gurkay Cukadar of the Turkish cafeteria, might have been asked when he last saw them. The idea is to discover if there was a change in their behaviour, if they went from shy but friendly to fearful and reclusive. A start would have been to walk up and down the street talking to takeaways and other shops. The building manager seems helpful. The way the sisters' email was written, in terms of English proficiency also gives clues, as does the email address. [And that, along with using Uber eats, suggests they had phones and maybe a lap top.]''Among the handful of people at the viewing were two Chinese students and friends, Tam and Lo, who said they were attracted to the apartment by its low price.'Goosebumps': Students didn't know they were viewing Sydney unit where Saudi sisters died
SBS News has visited the apartment where Saudi sisters Asra and Amaal Abdullah Alsehli were found dead in mysterious circumstances. It is now back on the market for a higher rental amount.
The apartment was previously listed for $540 a week and is now advertised at $520. SBS News understands the sisters were previously paying $480. The real estate agent present at the inspection said the owner was willing to reduce it from $540.''
''One block away from the apartment, Gurkay Cukadar works at a Turkish cafeteria and remembers the elder of the two sisters, Asra, as being friendly.
"Sometimes she is coming to get chips and that's it. She was quite a lovely lady and she was actually speaking some Turkish words as well, she was quite friendly,” he said.
“When she was coming here and we talk she was quite friendly to us and doesn't seem like she was afraid."

''Professor John Blaxland from the Australian National University said many countries had a track record of trying to use their nationals living in Australia to sway decisions made by government agencies, corporations and education institutions in their favour.
Foreign spying reaches 'unprecedented scale' in Australia
Australia's domestic intelligence agency warns of foreign spying efforts amid revelations the east African nation of Rwanda has a shadowy network of spies silencing political dissent inside Queensland suburbs.
He said this was achieved by planting spies in diplomatic missions but could also involve blackmailing or coercing refugees and migrants into becoming informers.
"There are broad principles that apply not just to Rwanda, but a range of countries, including China," Professor Blaxland said.
"Refugees who flee often have family connections remaining with [their] home country.
"The government can choose to exercise that power over the minds of the residents in Australia concerning safety and wellbeing of relatives back home, and that can be a very difficult pressure to resist."
Senior intelligence figures told the ABC that China, Saudi Arabia, Iran, Syria, North Korea and Malaysia were known to monitor their diaspora living in Australia, while also seeking to silence those who might speak out against their former governments.
In several instances, one source said, the Australian government of the day has used diplomatic channels to make known its concern, with a view to stopping the intimidation.
The intelligence community refer to these people recruited by fully trained foreign spies as "co-optees" or agents.
According to another international intelligence expert, there are hundreds of "co-optees" operating in Australia, and many have been blackmailed, threatened or coerced into joining.''
''The expert said some agents would seek to gain political gossip from the press clubs, parliaments and diplomatic functions, but their main job was to recruit agents and get recruit agents to get valuable information.
This can happen through a front group, or so-called "false flag" operation, where they purport to be something they're not — like a charity or community group, he said.''
This case gives me a headache
Every scenario is possible.
And equally horrifying.
I'm really interested what the final Police statement will be.
This is what I am most interested in hearing about. I think they would have been very active online. They probably even have profiles on forums and social media under fake names.
And revealed/alleged below in a lengthy 2nd SBS article this afternoon (AEST).The 'crucial' tool police haven't yet used that could help solve the tragic case of Sydney's Saudi sisters
Mystery continues to surround the deaths of two Saudi-born sisters in Sydney. Information about the case translated into Arabic could be "crucial" to solving it, a local interpreter says.
Unbelievable…they didn’t translate into Arabic yet?
