Julian Story had gone missing and is now believed to have been murdered by his partner Tamika Chesser in Australia, now the man’s head has been discovered by a horrified dog walker
The severed head of a man allegedly murdered by his Beauty and the Geek star girlfriend has been found.
The dog and its owner had been walking through scrubland in the Australian city of Port Lincoln, about 250km – or about 155 miles – west of Adelaide. While the pair had been walking through the landscape, the head was discovered by the walker, though the dog appeared to run off with the had and did not return.
It is now believed that the severed head is that of Julian Story, a 39-year-old man who was allegedly brutally murdered and dismembered by his partner Tamika Chesser. Tamika, 34, first shot to fame when she starred in the reality show Beauty and the Geek back in 2010.
According to the Sun, police in the Australian state of South Australia confirmed that a head had been discovered. In a statement released on Thursday (July 31), South Australia Police boss Darren Fielke confirmed that other remains had also been found.
“Earlier today, police received information from a member of the public in Port Lincoln that they had located in a scrub area what appeared to be a human skull,” Fielke explained. “There are some walking tracks through there, my understanding is the person who contacted us today was walking their dog in the area.
“The dog ran off into the scrub, it didn’t come back when called,” he added. “They had to walk into the scrub area to find it; [the remains] were not buried – they were quite out in the open.”
Formal identification is now set to take place, with tests being carried out on the remains to confirm that they are those of missing Julian. Fielke added that Julian’s family have been made aware of the discovery and are now being told to prepare for any information regarding his disappearance and alleged murder.
“Julian’s family have been contacted today and provided an update in relation to what has been located and what the ongoing process is from here,” the police boss added. “Hopefully we can give them some comfort that we have found all the remains of Julian.”
Aussie police first made the horrific discovery in June, after they were called to deal with a small fire that had broken out. Julian’s partner Tamika was later arrested and detained under the Mental Health Act some two days afterwards.
However, while police are keen to launch a full investigation, officers are unable to speak to the star, as she is currently being held in a mental health facility. She has, however, already appeared before a magistrates court in Port Lincoln via video link, in connection for three different crimes.
Tamika stands charged with murder after police released CCTV footage of a woman believed to be Tamika in the wake of the alleged murder. She is also accused of perverting the course of justice by disposing of human remains, as well as assaulting a police officer.
Court documents found that officers discovered Tamika sitting in the back garden of her home – dressed fully in black wearing a head covering – “in a catatonic and unresponsive state”. Police have admitted there is no obvious motive that has been found yet, and that there are “a lot of unanswered questions” in the case.
