NSW teens arrested after body found

Three teenagers have been arrested after a body was found in Belanglo State Forest in NSW, Australia, the Sydney Morning Herald reported.

Police said they found the body in bushland about 8.30pm. No details about the identity of the dead person or the location in the forest where the body was found have been released.

The three 17- and 18-yr-olds were arrested separately late last night and early this morning.

A police spokeswoman said it was not believed that the arrests related to other gruesome discoveries in the area, the SMH report said.

In August, human remains were found in the forest, 18 years after the bodies of seven backpackers were discovered there.

Convicted serial killer Ivan Milat is serving seven life sentences for their murders.

However, testing revealed the remains had been there for 12 years or less, ruling out 'backpacker killer' Milat.
