The woman at the centre of a brutal murder-suicide in Brisbane's inner-city has been identified as Indonesian national Mayang Prasetyo.
Parts of the 27-year-old were allegedly cooked up by her chef husband, Marcus Peter Volke, on a stove in a Teneriffe apartment.
Volke, 28, slit his own throat soon after fleeing police when they knocked on the door of the couple's home after receiving complaints of a bad smell.
Ms. Prasetyo had previously advertised herself as a high-class, transsexual escort on a British online classifieds website.
In an advertisement on Backpage - which is similar to Australia's Gumtree - the then 23-year-old wrote she was a first-timer in London who was 'busty' and 'extra hot in bed' with a 'big banana'.
'Anyone need some pleasure... i am here for u to give u my best pleasure,' the ad said.
Ms. Prasetyo's family back in Indonesia were said to be devastated by her death, 9News reported.
According to Volke's Facebook page, the pair have been engaged since August last year but a friend of Ms. Prasetyo's said they were married late last year.
An old school friend - who did not wish to be named - told Daily Mail Australia , Ms. Prasetyo and Volke came to visit him in Germany for their honeymoon.
He said the couple seemed 'very happy' when he saw them together in December.
'Volke was a bit of a shy guy. He didn't talk to much,' the friend - who met Ms Prasetyo in 2009 when they studied German together at the Goethe institute in Indonesian city Surabaya - told.
'Mayang is nice and kind girl too. She liked travelling.'
Shocked friends of Ms. Prasetyo - who listed cabaret drag show Le Femme Garcon as her employer - have taken to her social media profile to pay tribute to her.
Police discovered body parts belonging to his Indonesian girlfriend boiling in chemicals and in plastic bags strewn across the apartment,The Courier Mail reported.
The grisly death is being treated as a murder-suicide after police found Volke's body in a wheelie bin in a street next to the complex shortly after the dismembered body was found.
Volke reportedly fled the scene by jumping over a balcony after police knocked on the door of the Commercial Road apartment complex on Saturday night.
He had tried to dispose of his girlfriend's remains by using an oven but called an electrician to the apartment after his oven failed, according to 9News.
When the tradesman showed up he noted that the carpet made a squelching noise as he walked across it.
Managers of the recently-constructed complex raised the alarm on Saturday after reporting the couple who lived at the apartment had not been seen for several days.
Authorities could not say how long the woman had been dead, but neighbours say a 'rotting meat' smell had surfaced in the days before the grisly discovery.
The man's family have been left shocked by the incident, saying the couple had a loving relationship.
'They were happy. They were always together,' cousin Troy Volke told 9News.
Volke grew up in Ballarat with three other siblings and trained in martial arts at his parents' business, Kyokushin Karate.
The man's mother, Dorothy Volke, told The Courier Mail on Sunday she had spoken with her son just a week before and he seemed normal.
'He was happy and he was coming home for Christmas, everything was normal,' she told the newspaper.
Mrs Volke said her 28-year-old son had only recently settled in Brisbane with his girlfriend after both working on international cruise ships as chefs.
'He'd been on a ship, going from one country to another. They hadn't been in Brisbane for very long, only a few months. They were starting to get settled. I don't know what was going on... we hadn't seen him for a year-and-a-half,' she said.
Police reportedly told Mrs Volke they still had to identify his body with dental records and an autopsy.
Alex Reichart and Courtney Thoresen-Reichart, who moved into the complex just six weeks ago, told Fairfax Media on Sunday there had been a 'rotting meat' smell in the building in recent days.
'I smelled something a few days ago, but we've had sewerage problems through the building over the past few weeks, which building managers have been trying to solve,' she said.
'It smelled like off dog food, so I just thought someone had either been feeding their animal, or the dog had made a mess.'
Dath St resident Ryan Lane told The Courier Mail: 'I came outside and there were probably about 10 or so cop cars out here, and they wheeled one of our wheelie bins outside.'
'I saw them, there were about 15 cops with their guns drawn and then they tipped the bin over and the guy came rolling out covered in blood.
'The guys who live upstairs from us said the police were giving CPR to him.'
Investigations into the circumstances surrounding the discovery of human remains inside the unit remain ongoing.
