Detectives have travelled to China to try and identify the body of a woman found in a car boot in Belfast.

Even though one man has been charged with her murder, police have been unable to name the victim (20).

Two officers were in China liaising with authorities, a spokesman for the Police Service in Northern Ireland confirmed today. "They are following a definite line of inquiry," he said.

The victim's body was discovered in the boot of a car intercepted by police outside a petrol station on Belfast's Antrim Road on June 3rd.

While awaiting burial, it is being held at the city's Foster Green mortuary.

The woman is believed to have travelled from Dublin to Belfast just days before she was murdered.

One man was later charged with her murder. A second has been accused of assault, false imprisonment and assisting an offender. Both men are Chinese.
