Mr Munro, 24, was reported missing last year after he was last seen by friends on July 21 and Strike Force Zion was formed to investigate. His car was found parked at his Schofields home. Acting on information received, Mr Munro’s body was found during a search in bushland in the Bulahdelah State Forest in December. He had suffered significant injuries but police did not release the cause of death.

A second man, a 21-year-old from Lake Munmorah on the Central Coast, was arrested at his home on Friday February 27 and charged with murder. His home had previously been searched by police.
He was taken to Wyong Police Station and refused bail.
