A man and woman will face court on Friday charged over the murder of a man who was found in wheelie bin in Melbourne's northern suburbs.
A council worker discovered the body of Ashley Phillips as he was emptying a bin at the intersection of Young and Butler streets in Preston about 8am on May 27.
The bin, which does not belong to any residents on the street, was on a nature strip for more than 24 hours before it was collected.
