The man suspected of murdering Sydney dentist Preethi Reddy, whose body was found in a suitcase in Sydney's east last night, is another dentist and her ex‑boyfriend, Harsh Narde.
That head‑on collision, around 340 kilometres from where Dr Reddy's body was found, is believed to have been deliberate.
The ABC understands Dr Narde was the key suspect in Dr Reddy's murder.
CCTV footage captured Dr Reddy in McDonald’s on Sunday about 2.15am
Police confirmed they spoke to Dr Reddy's former partner as part of the missing persons investigation, before his death.
NSW Police said the investigation was still in its early stages.
Many are posting condolence messages on social media for Dr Reddy this morning.
Police are still investigating the circumstances surrounding her death and are asking anyone with information to come forward.
