TWO men appeared at an out-of-sessions Melbourne Magistrates’ Court hearing on Saturday charged with the murder of a former Special Operations Group police officer at Braeside, Thursday 18 May.
The ex-police officer, 41, was found dead inside a Governor Rd factory on Friday – the day after his desperate family had searched for him in the industrial estate.
A 45-year-old Braeside man and a 47-year-old Rosebud man were remanded in custody to reappear at a later date.
Senior Constable Alistair Parsons, of police media, said the 45-year-old had handed himself in to police and told them where the body could be found.
Anyone with information should call Crime Stoppers 1800 333 000 or make a confidential report at crimestoppersvic.com.au online.
