A third person has been charged with murder in relation to the death of Kangaroo Flat woman Samantha Kelly, who was allegedly bludgeoned to death with a hammer.

Mother-of-four Samantha Kelly went missing on January 20 and her body was found in a creek in mid-February, originally leading to murder charges against two people.
