Vic: Elderly man on murder charge over 1993 disappearance

An elderly man's been charged with the murder of a 61-year-old man who disappeared
in a Victorian forest seven years ago.

Homicide squad detectives travelled to Golden Beach on Victoria's east coast yesterday
to question a 74-year-old man over the 1993 disappearance.

RUSSELL MORGAN HARROD was charged with murder in Sale Magistrates' Court earlier today,
and is due to appear in Melbourne Magistrates' Court on Thursday.

ZDENEK SETEK, known as JOHN, disappeared from his caravan on crown land in the Kingower
State Forest, in north-west Victoria, in August 1993.

His body was never found.
