Major update in mystery case of two decomposing sisters found in flat as cops baffled by ‘suspicious’ deaths

POLICE have been left baffled by the "suspicious" deaths of two sisters found decomposing in their flat.

Asra Abdullah Alsehli, 24 and Amaal Abdullah Alsehli, 23, were found dead in their beds in separate rooms of their Sydney apartment on June 7.

But over a month on, the circumstances surrounding their deaths remain a mystery to investigators - forcing them to reveal their names in a bid to boost the probe.

The sisters, from Saudi Arabia, were only discovered when the building manager became concerned after their mail began to pile up.

The pair had also failed to pay rent on their Canterbury apartment for four weeks, prompting cops to make a welfare call.

Asra and Amaal were found in a "somewhat decomposed" state and are believed to have been dead for quite "some time".

Even though there were no signs of forced entry and no signs of injury, cops are treating the deaths of the sisters as "suspicious".

The bizarre case has raised even more questions as it has emerged the two women had reportedly fled their home country as teens.

They arrived in Australia in 2017 and were reportedly assisted by a refugee service that helps those seeking asylum.

No cause of death has yet been identified and cops are still awaiting the results of toxicology reports.

Police made a fresh appeal for information on Asra and Amaal, as there is still little known about the women who "seemed to keep to themselves".

Det Insp Claudia Allcroft said at a press conference on Wednesday: "We’re appealing for information because we don’t know a lot about the girls.

"Our investigation is ongoing, and in consultation with the coroner, we have decided to release their names and have appealed for information.

"The girls were 23 and 24 years old and died together in their home.
