Australian police are urging teenagers to take their personal details off social networking websites, after an 18-year-old woman was murdered.<br /><br />Police believe teenager Nona Belomesoff befriended her killer through the Facebook website.<br /><br />Belomesoff's body was found on May 14, two days after she embarked on an excursion with a man she met on the website, who told her that they were going to rescue hurt animals.<br /><br />Christopher James Dannevig, the 20-year-old man charged with the murder, is alleged to have established a fake Facebook profile and claimed on it to work for an animal welfare organisation.<br /><br />He is believed to have offered Belomesoff a job and to have encouraged her to take the camping trip with him.<br /><br />Belomesoff's body was later found at a creek south of Sydney.<br /><br />But as Al Jazeera's Alison Rourke reports from Sydney, many teenagers are oblivious to the risks going online can bring.
