- Teenager met 'two men' on Facebook
- Police reveal her body has been found
- Man has been arrested and charged
A TEENAGER missing from home after arranging a camping trip with two men she met on Facebook was found dead last night.
Homicide detectives, who are leading the investigation, arrested a 20-year-old Leumeah man about 8pm.
Police this morning charged him with murder after the discovery of the body which is believed to be Nona Belomesoff. The man has been refused bail and will appear at Parramatta Bail Court later today.
Police will allege that the second man she believed she was meeting did not exist.
Offficers revealed at 1am that they had found a woman's body about 9.40pm after scouring bushland near Waminda Oval at Waminda Ave, East Campbelltown in Sydney's west.
The teenager's family notified police when she failed to return home on Thursday and was unable to be reached on her mobile phone.
A family member told The Daily Telegraph they believed she was camping with work friends on Wednesday and expected her back home the following day.
Miss Belomesoff, 18, was last seen leaving her Cecil Hills family home about 9am on Wednesday.
Police said she had arranged to meet two men about 10am at Leumeah railway station, with the trio planning to camp out in an area of bushland near Campbelltown.
Nona was last seen wearing a white shirt and carrying a small bag.
Officers spent yesterday scouring bushland in the area while detectives interviewed one of the men the teenager had arranged to meet through the social networking site.
Earlier yesterday, Nona's brother Gary Belomesoff, 20, described his sister as "a good girl''.
"She doesn't go out often. She's more a home girl," he said.
Mr Belomesoff said his sister, a TAFE student who graduated from Canley Vale High School last year, had a deep love of animals, which was the reason she had planned the trip.
US-based Facebook authorities were last night helping with the investigation, providing access to her profile and tracking her final communications.
Police issued a warning to social network users: "You don't know who is on the other end of the computer.''
Comment: Don't believe person that you don't know because we don't know how the person is. Don't too believe on social network. Don'r put yourself in risk.
