Man remanded over body found at SA dump

A 44-year-old man charged with murder after a body was found among green waste at an Adelaide dump has been remanded in custody.

Detectives were called to Wingfield Integrated Waste Services on Tuesday afternoon after staff made the discovery.

The dead man was identified as a 52-year-old from suburban Hectorville.

His alleged killer, Daniel Gordon Bremner, did not apply for bail in a brief appearance at Adelaide Magistrates Court on Wednesday.

He will return to court in June next year.

A further search of the dump was conducted for potential evidence while a post-mortem examination was also being performed.

Superintendent Matt Nairn said the two men were known to each other and lived at the same address.

"Part of the investigation is working with the waste management services in regard to the timeframes for rubbish truck deposits and when they may have disturbed that pile of rubbish," he said.

"The victim was in a slightly decomposed state which has made some things difficult but a post-mortem will assist us to establish a time of death."
