‘The night she was killed we were robbed’: Loving mother killed and dumped in beachside suburb

Toni Tiki’s battered body was left in scrubland at Maroubra. Police believe a local sex offender may be the culprit as a $1 million reward is offered.

'Police believe a Maroubra local may be responsible for the death of a young mother whose body was dumped in scrubland after she was violently murdered.'

''Her partially clad body was found the next day in scrubland near a walking track. She had died of significant head injuries.''

''Doherty said where Tiki’s body was found was not a major thoroughfare, and was most likely used only by locals or those with local knowledge.

Given her condition when she was found, police believe it was a sexually motivated attack and are examining previous sexual offences in the Maroubra area that might have been connected.''
