Police have charged a third person over the murder of a south west man.

68-year-old Raymond Smith's body was located in bushland near Greenbushes late last week after he went missing on December 7. 

Police began searching for 30-year-old James Terence Hunt on Tuesday in relation to the murder of Mr Smith. 

He was located and taken into custody on Wednesday and has since been charged with one count of murder. 

Mr Hunt is due to appear before the Bunbury Magistrates Court today. 

He is the third person to be charged with the murder of Raymond Smith. 

35-year-old Kevin Allan Craig Potter was also charged with one count of murder last Friday.

He has been remanded in custody since his court date on Sunday where he will remain until his next court date later this month. 

41-year-old Paul Douglas May was then charged on Tuesday. 

He did not apply for bail and will also remain in custody until his next court appearance on January 24.
