4月18日，奥克兰警方今天表示，行李箱藏尸案取得重大突破。

今天上午，警方对奥克兰市中心Wellesley St和Elliot St交界处一处宾馆式公寓进行突击搜查，三名华人男子被警方带去问话。同时，警方和法医鉴定专家也对市中心这间公寓宾馆进行调查，在他们的房间里搜出武器。据信，被害人万彪就是在周四晚被诱骗至这间公寓的，位于路口的安全摄像机拍下了这几名华人拖出行李箱的镜头。

警探Bernie Hollewand说，藏有尸体的行李箱是从奥市中心的王子码头被扔到海里的。

Hollewand还表示，这三名华人都是二十多岁的年轻人，其中之一是万彪的同校同学，他打国际长途电话给万彪在中国的家长要求交出$800,000纽元的赎金，万彪的家长向中国警方报案。不久，万彪的尸体在奥克兰海湾被发现。

周五（4月14日）凌晨3点25分左右，在奥克兰市中心Wellesley 和Elliot St拐角处有四名女子，警方希望与她们取得联系，相信可以获得对侦破此案有用的信息。Hollewand强调，警方将对举报者提供的信息严加保密，如果需求，警方可以提供翻译人员。

Police investigating the Auckland body in the suitcase inquiry have made a major breakthrough.

Detective Inspector Bernie Hollewand says police have now learned where the suitcase containing the body of a Chinese student was thrown into the harbour.

The body of 19-year-old Wan Biao was found folded in a suitcase in the Waitemata Harbour on Good Friday.

Three men are being questioning by inquiry detectives, following a visit to an inner city apartment this morning. Police and forensic experts have also carried out tests at an inner city hotel.

Inquiry head Detective Inspector Hollewand says police would also like to speak to four women who were on the corner of Wellesley and Elliot Streets at 3.25am on Good Friday. He believes they could have information useful to the inquiry. Mr Hollewand said calls could be made in confidence if preferred to 0800 BESTLAND (0800 237852). Translators are available if needed
