  • 352 reading now

Police are puzzled about the identity of a young woman in a black swimsuit whose body was pulled from shallow water at a Melbourne beach earlier this week.

The woman, believed to be aged between her early 20s to mid-30s, was found by a jogger in front of the Black Rock Life Saving Club at 7am on Tuesday.

Her death is not believed to be suspicious.

Police believe the woman may have entered the water near the Sandringham Life Saving Club, possibly on Monday.

Lines of enquiry, including fingerprinting, have failed to establish the woman's name. Police are now asking for public assistance to help identify her.

Police have released a computer-generated image of the woman's face, as well a shirt and the bathers she was wearing.

Investigators also hope a picture of her handbag may help someone recognise her.

The woman was caucasian, had shoulder-length dark hair and brown or hazel eyes.

She was 174cm tall, weighed about 90 kilograms and had a 6cm scar on her left wrist.

Anyone with information is urged to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.
