An Australian woman who had gone to meet a man she befriended on social networking site Facebook has been murdered, a media report on Saturday said.

Acting on a tip-off, the police arrested a 20-year-old man from Leumeah, a suburb of Sydney, and based on information given by him, found a woman’s body on Friday near Warminda Oval at Campbelltown, Australian news agency AAP reported. Though the police has not yet formally identified the body, it is believed to be of a missing woman — Nona Belomesoff from the Cecil Hills area — who disappeared on Wednesday after going to meet two men she befriended on Facebook. The police said the second man, identified only as Belomesoff, she was going to meet does not exist.
