Two men facing murder charges over a body found buried in a shallow grave in Tyabb, on Melbourne's outskirts, have appeared in court, suffering a variety of injuries.
Homicide detectives have charged Brendan Mcdowall, 52, from Crib Point, and Shane Heiberg, 34, from Hastings, with the murder of Jade Goodwin, 39, whose body was found on a vacant property last Sunday.
The two men were arrested earlier this week along with Natalie Dalton, 36, of Hastings, who has already been charged with murder and made a brief court appearance.
Police allege Mr Goodwin was killed on the weekend of October 14 and 15 before his body was dumped at a vacant property in Tyabb on Dandenong-Hastings Road.
Mr Mcdowall and Mr Heiberg made separate appearances in the Melbourne Magistrates Court on Sunday, where their injuries were discussed.
Mr Mcdowall has a broken finger, a ruptured bicep, and requires an anti-psychotic medication while in custody, his lawyer told the court.
Mr Heiberg had his right hand in bandages as he entered the courtroom.
He had been treated at the Royal Melbourne Hospital for cut tendons and requires anti-biotics, the court heard.
Both men did not apply for bail and were remanded in custody until their next court appearance on November 3.
The third accused, Ms Dalton, is not due to face court again until March 23.
Friends of the slain man have paid tribute to him on social media.
Friend Joanne Davey wrote on Facebook that she was "blessed and lucky" to have met Mr Goodwin.
"I will never forget you standing up for me in Frankston ... you really were one of a kind," she wrote.
Other friends described him as someone who "would give the shirt of (sic) your back if someone was in need."
