Man related to Milat charged over murder

One of the teenagers charged over the murder of a friend in NSW's Belanglo State
Forest is related to convicted serial killer Ivan Milat.
Milat used the same bushland south of Sydney to dump the bodies of seven backpackers
in the early 1990s.
On Sunday, police found the body of a teenage boy who had head injuries believed to
be from an axe.
The body was found shallowly buried and covered in debris, after a tip-off to police
at Camden southwest of Sydney.
Three young men from the NSW Southern Highlands were on Monday charged over the
grisly discovery off a dirt road.
Two of the men have been charged with accessory after the fact to murder. The other
male has been charged with murder. All three have been refused bail.
"Their actions led to the violent death of a boy in his late teens," said Chief
Inspector Pamela Young from the homicide squad.
All four teenagers knew each other, had been together on the night of the murder and
had gone to the forest together, Insp Young said.
"It would appear that they, certainly, are friends ... we don't have a reason at
this stage," she told reporters on Monday.
The ABC said the dead man had been celebrating his 18th birthday.
An examination of the crime scene was carried out early on Monday morning but police
are still looking for a weapon.
Later on Monday they searched a nearby dam for the weapon.
Ivan Milat's victims were found in northern parts of the Belanglo State Forest in
the NSW Southern Highlands between September 1992 and November 1993.
Milat, a former road worker, is serving seven life sentences in Goulburn Supermax
Jail for the murder of five European and two Australian backpackers.
The latest find is the ninth body to be discovered in the bushland.
