Mr McDowall had also recently sustained a ruptured bicep and a broken finger.

The court heard he required antipsychotic medication while being held in jail.

The charges come after a woman faced court charged with the murder on Friday.

Natalie Dalton, 36, did not apply for bail and was scheduled to reappear for a committal mention on March 23.

The trio were arrested between Friday and Tuesday in connection with the murder of Mr Goodwin.

It is believed the 39-year-old’s body may have been buried only hours before it was found at the rural lot on the Mornington Peninsula on Sunday night.

He had not been seen since October 13.

The father of a baby girl, Ariah, Mr Goodwin was remembered by his partner Tash Smith as “the best person”.

“I miss you so much. You are my world. You gave me a beautiful daughter. Our baby has lost the best person a girl needs in her life — her daddy,” she wrote in an online tribute.

“You had so much love to give and that’s all been taken away.”

PREMIER SAYS CRASH WAS SICKENING

His body was found near a shed on the property on Dandenong-Hastings Rd, which had been vacant and for sale for some time.

Locals said the property was often used as a dumping ground.
