Overview
- Queensland Police arrested a 44-year-old from Lake Macdonald and charged him with torture, deprivation of liberty and extortion in the Burow investigation, not murder or kidnapping.
- He is scheduled to appear at Brisbane Magistrates Court on February 5.
- Three other men — Billy John Howard, 26, Anthony Perrett, 38, and Gregory Terrace Snell, 57 — were earlier charged with murder, kidnapping and related offences including torture and extortion.
- Investigators allege Burow was taken to multiple sites and tortured between August 21 and 25, killed on August 25 and left near Maidenwell the next day, with remains later recovered.
- Police describe a complex case spanning eight crime scenes across Brisbane, the Sunshine Coast and the South Burnett, with about 1,000 hours of CCTV reviewed and five vehicles seized, and say the attack was targeted with Howard known to Burow.
