Brisbane · Chermside park body identified as homeless man Andy Parker; police probe link to dogs

The man whose decomposed body was found in bushland near Westfield Chermside on Sunday has been identified as 48-year-old Andy Parker, a man known to sleep rough in the area. Detective Superintendent Andrew Massingham said police can no longer rule out a connection between Parker's death and the two bulldog-crosses that mauled jogger Ajay Malik in the same park on Friday evening. Forensic teams are taking moulds of the dogs' jaws and attempting to match their DNA with evidence from Parker's body.
