Second arrest over SA Riverland murder

A second man has been charged over the murder of Lucio Caruso who was found dead in his home in the South Australian Riverland last year.

Police say a 55-year-old Berri man has been refused bail on the murder charge and will appear in the Berri Magistrates Court on a date to be determined.

Mr Caruso, 49, was found murdered in his Monash home on November 27. He had suffered severe head injuries and his car had been stolen.

In December a 45-year-old Mildura man was arrested and charged with murder.

He was extradited to South Australia and remains in custody.
