Woman charged over Vic man's disappearance

The former partner of a Victorian man suspected of being kidnapped and murdered has been charged with being an accessory to murder.

Police have charged a woman in relation to the alleged kidnapping and suspected murder of a Melbourne man.

Wayne Amey, 54, was last seen leaving a Toorak restaurant on December 10.

Police searched for his remains in bushland near Inglewood in northern Victoria on Tuesday.

Homicide Squad detectives charged Robyn Lindholm, Mr Amey's former partner, with being an accessory to murder and she faced an out of sessions court hearing on Tuesday evening.

She has been remanded in custody to appear at Melbourne Magistrates' Court on Wednesday.

A 54-year-old man continues to assist police with their inquiries.

A third person, John Anthony Ryan, 36, is now wanted for questioning over the suspected murder.

Detective Inspector John Potter says Mr Ryan is possibly armed and dangerous and anyone who sees him should call triple-zero.
