FRANKLIN, Tenn. — A man who was arrested and charged last week in connection with a burned body faced a judge Tuesday morning.

Eddy Setiadi was being held in a Williamson County Jail and facing second-degree murder charges after a body was discovered Dec. 8 near the Natchez Trace Parkway.

The badly burned body was found near the Highway 96 bridge while firefighters were putting out hot spots from a brush fire.

At Tuesday’s hearing, the judge issued a $500,000 bond for Setiadi.

The victim, who had a large tattoo on his right shoulder, is believed to be from Asheville, N.C. Police are not releasing his name yet.
