The moves brings to six the number of men charged over the alleged murder of Andrew John Walsh, whose body was found buried in concrete at the Coopers Plains transport depot.

Two men, aged 28 and 24, have been charged with murder and misconduct with a corpse and are expected to face Brisbane Magistrates Court on Thursday.

Four others had previously been charged in relation to Mr Walsh, who was reported missing in January after being last seen alive in November.

In March, Wash’s remains were discovered after police drilled into recently poured concrete at the depot.

Detectives have also linked the depot to the disappearance and suspected murder of a second man, Lachlan Griffiths.

Griffiths, 35, was last seen alive in the Brisbane CBD in January before his mother reported him missing on Australia Day.

Police believe Griffiths was taken by car to a Coopers Plains transport depot but are yet to find his remains.

Four people have been charged with murder in relation to Griffiths’ disappearance.

Detectives are continuing their appeal for public information about what happened to both men.
