Men in Tas court over burnt body murder

Two men charged with murder after burnt human remains were discovered in northern Tasmania have appeared in a Launceston court.

A man found a body by a roadside in bushland at Hollybank at around 8.30pm (AEST) on Monday.

Police said they believed the body had been put there only recently.


The ABC and the Hobart Mercury are reporting the victim is 43-year-old Scott Rock, but police have yet to confirm his name.

Police charged Sean Timothy Hudson, 36, and Neville Whiting, 31, both of Ravenswood, with murder on Wednesday, and the pair briefly appeared in Launceston Magistrates Court.

Hudson and Whiting did not enter a plea and were remanded in custody to appear in the same court on May 3
