Facebook friend murders Australian woman

SYDNEY - An Australian woman who had gone to meet a man she befriended on social networking site Facebook has been murdered, a media report Saturday said.

Acting on a tip-off, police arrested a 20-year-old man from Leumeah, a suburb of Sydney, and based on information given by him, found a woman’s body Friday near Warminda Oval at Campbelltown, Australian news agency AAP reported.

Though police have not yet formally identified the body, it is believed to be of a missing woman - Nona Belomesoff from the Cecil Hills area - who disappeared Wednesday after going to meet two men she befriended on Facebook.

Police said the second man, identified only as Belomesoff, she was going to meet does not exist.
