Mayang was killed, dismembered and cooked by her boyfriend Marcus Volke, 27.

When police officers arrived and found him cooking parts of her body he slashed his own throat before jumping the balcony fence and fleeing. His body was found inside an industrial bin.

A police officer who first responded to a gruesome murder-suicide in Brisbane where a man was cooking the remains of his girlfriend before fleeing has told a coronial inquest he initially thought it was a "sick prank".

Brisbane chef Marcus Volke, 27, dismembered and cooked the remains of his transgender partner Mayang Prasetyo, 27, at their Teneriffe unit in inner-city Brisbane in October 2014.

Mayang was a migrant from Bali, Indonesia.
