Human remains suspected of being those of Baghsarian were found on Tuesday morning near a golf club in Pitt Town, NSW, about 45km northwest of the Sydney CBD.

Early inquiries after his disappearance on 13 February established that Baghsarian was not the intended target and had been taken in a case of mistaken identity.
