Police said they were alerted to the case last week when the family from the South Auckland suburb of Manurewa reported finding human body parts in several items they bought from a storage facility.
"Initial post-mortem examinations have been carried out and the results show that the remains found in two suitcases are that of two primary school-aged children," according to a statement released early Thursday from police spokesperson Anna Thompson.
In a news conference a day earlier, Detective Inspector Tofilau Faamanuia Vaaelua said the children probably were ages 5 to 10 and may have been dead for a number of years. Once the children are formally identified, authorities said, their top priority will be to notify the next of kin.
