Guilty plea to murder of man found in bush

A 26-year-old man has pleaded guilty to murdering David Houston whose body was found in a bush grave south of Perth in June.

Sam Jacob Walker faced Stirling Gardens Magistrate’s Court today via video link from prison and pleaded guilty to one count of murder.

Another man, Jonathan Robert Lee, 23, pleaded guilty in August to the murder.

Lee’s girlfriend, Amanda Jane Kelly, 19 is also charged with murder, but she has yet to plead.

She appeared in court today, but her case was adjourned to next month.

Walker’s lawyer Linda Black told the court today her client’s plea did not mean he accepted all of the facts in the prosecution brief.

Mr Houston was believed to have been bashed to death at a South Fremantle home.
