SA gutter murder accused denied bail

One of two men charged with the murder of a man whose semi-naked body was found in an Adelaide gutter has been refused bail.

A 23-year-old man from South Brighton and a 24-year-old from Ottoway were charged last week with murdering Frederick Clemmeth Collins, 49, whose body was found in the gutter on a road in Woodville North.

Police said he was found on October 29 and was missing clothing on the lower half of his body.

In the Port Adelaide magistrates court on Tuesday, the 23-year-old was refused bail.

His co-accused did not apply for bail.

Both men, whose names have been suppressed, will next appear in the Adelaide magistrates court on January 13.
