Two men charged in burned body case

Two men have been charged over the death of Russell Hammond, whose bound and burned body was found in parkland near Geelong last Friday.

Police say 25-year-old Garreth Giles and 18-year-old Christopher Coulter faced an out of sessions hearing in Geelong early Thursday, charged with murder, arson, theft of a motor vehicle and theft.

They’ve been remanded in custody and will face the Geelong Magistrates Court later in the day.

The body of 49-year-old Mr Hammond was found by dirt bike riders in parkland in Corio, near Geelong’s ring road.

Hours earlier, his car was spotted abandoned and torched in Leopold.
