Mandurah death charge

A 47-year-old man has appeared in court on charges relating to the discovery of a body found in Mandurah over the weekend.

Dean Kowitz did not apply for bail, and will appear in court again next week after Major Crime Squad detectives arrested and charged him with one count of assault occasioning bodily harm regarding the discovery of the body found in the carport of a unit at 15 Boundary Road Dudley Park at 7am on Saturday.

Major Crime Squad arrested the man and charged him with one count of assault occasioning bodily harm regarding the discovery of the body found in the carport of a unit at 15 Boundary Road Dudley Park at 7am yesterday.

Police say they have not confirmed the identity of the dead man and no family have been formally notified.

A police spokesman said the charge of assault occasioning bodily harm might be upgraded pending the outcome of a post mortem examination.
