THE nation's leading health economist and his academic partner are dead after being murdered at their idyllic Mountain River property, south-west of Hobart.Professor Gavin Mooney, 69, and Dr Del Weston , 62, were  found dead early yesterday with severe blunt -force trauma to the head in the lounge room of their secluded Bennetts Rd home after their alleged killer rang triple 0.

The 27-year-old man charged with the double murder is Dr Weston's son by a previous relationship.

Nicolau Francisco Soares did not enter a plea when he appeared in the Hobart Magistrates Court this afternoon and was remanded in custody.
