Police have identified the mystery iron bar recovered during the investigation into the murder of a 61-year-old woman at Crows Nest in January.
Late last month, detectives appealed for public assistance to identify the metal bar which was located during a ground search near Krishna Chopra’s home.
Police have since determined it to be a torsion bar from a particular vehicle which had been shortened to 47cm.
A police spokesperson said this may suggest it was modified for a particular purpose, but this purpose was unknown.
The connection of the bar to Krishna also remains unknown and police are looking to establish its origins to assist with ongoing investigations.
Detectives continue to appeal to anyone who has not already come forward, who may have had an association with Ms Chopra or visited her house at 5 Park Road, Crows Nest, to come forward.
Additionally, anyone who was in the Park Road area of Crows Nest on January 20-22 are being asked to contact police to discuss their observations and movements.
The last confirmed sighting of 61-year-old Krishna was on January 20 in Toowoomba but police believe she was alive on January 21.
Krishna was a volunteer who worked with Meals on Wheels.
She had delivered meals in the Crows Nest area after moving there from the Allora/Warwick area in 2021.
The joint investigation is being conducted by detectives from the Toowoomba CIB and the Homicide Investigation Unit.
