Officers arrived at the unit and found the body of Bouma, 53, with a note.
They found the body of Ramadan, 48, concealed in the chest, and believe it may have been there for more than a week.
Bouma was reportedly Ramadanâs partner and carer, who helped manage her chronic illness.
Her brother, Alex Ramadan, has set up a GoFundMe page to help bring his sisterâs body home to Melbourne, writing that the money would help get her the âfarewell she deservesâ.
âUnfortunately my beautiful sister Lordy had her life cut short,â he wrote. âTrying to raise some money to help my elderly parents cover the costs of bringing her body home to VIC and giving her the farewell she deserves.â
