Man charged with murder over SA death

A man has been charged with murder over the death of a man whose body was found in a house in suburban Adelaide.

Police were called to Parafield Gardens about 4am on Saturday morning after reports a man had died.

A 42-year-old man was found dead at the house on Martins Rd and a 48-year-old Parafield Gardens man was taken into custody, before being charged with murder.

Police said he was refused bail and will appear in the Elizabeth Magistrates Court on Monday.

It is believed the dead man had been assaulted, police said.

"It appears that the men ... are known to one another," Detective Chief Inspector Krystina Koza said on Saturday.

"It is not believed to be a random attack."

She said a post-mortem would determine how the man died.
