"We are still looking at forensic evidence and what people have told us to figure out what happened," Chief Superintendent Shepherd said.
Police were said to be reviewing CCTV footage of a business situated near the complex where the boy died.
An employee from a business next door to the crime scene said CCTV footage showed a man walking out of the unit block with two green garbage bags "in a hurry" on Monday night.
The Nu-Life Digital TV Antenna Service employee said police were now reviewing the footage and he believed it was the only business nearby which had cameras.
A crime scene has been set up around the back of the complex and forensic officers searched inside green wheelie bins on Woronora Parade and Mulga Road on Tuesday.
