A 27-year-old Fijian man has been arrested on the New South Wales south coast after fleeing from a car with a woman’s body in the boot.

Australian media report the suspect is thought to have been living a secret double life with a girlfriend in Australia while he had a wife and children back in Fiji.

Police are investigating whether the body found in the car on Wednesday in Bermagui, is missing Canberra woman Daniella D’Addario.

The 35-year-old and her boyfriend Josaia ‘Joey’ Vosikata, were reported missing by her concerned family members in the ACT on Monday.

D’Addario’s friend Chris Reid told the Daily Telegraph that the couple had been in a ‘very tumultuous¬ relationship’ for about four months after she found that he had a wife and kids in Fiji.

Reid says she left him but then, unbeknown to them the reasons, she got back together with him.

A 27-year-old man, believed to be Vosikata, was arrested yesterday afternoon.

Detective Superintendent Peter O’Brien says they believe there may have been some sort of domestic relationship that had soured.

The 27-year-old is expected to appear in court today.
