Three SA men found guilty of manslaughter

Three men accused of murdering a Mt Gambier man whose remains have never been found have been found guilty of manslaughter.

Three South Australian men accused of killing a man after he won $6000 on the pokies have been found guilty of manslaughter.

Mt Gambier man Gordon Hamm, 34, was last seen in the Victorian town of Nelson early on July 17 last year.

His body has never been found.

Mark James Moreland, 37, Christopher Nathan Tippens, 30, and Tai Thorp, 22, all of Mt Gambier, were charged over the death.

A Victorian Supreme Court jury on Friday found each of them guilty of manslaughter.

They have been remanded in custody and face a plea hearing on February 13.
