A “HEATED argument” reportedly took place at an Adelaide home in the week before a body was discovered inside, police have revealed.

The body of a 52-year-old man was found in a home in the city’s inner south last night and a 31-year-old man has been charged with murder.

Detective Chief Inspector Wayne Overmeyer said the men were known to each other. Police are investigating reports of an argument at the Goodwood property earlier this week.

“We have received information that there was a heated argument that has allegedly occurred sometime between Tuesday night and the early hours of Wednesday morning,” Chief Insp Overmeyer told reporters.

“Anybody who has already provided information or anybody who does come forward, we are interested to hear anything that may come out of it.”

He said police did not yet know exactly when the victim died.

Police were called to the home at about 7.30pm last night, where the man’s body was found inside. A crime scene was established as police investigated.

The 31-year-old man of no fixed address was treated for injuries and remanded in custody to appear at Adelaide Magistrates Court on Friday.
