Three men have been charged with the murder of Brisbane man Andrew Burow who police say was tortured over several days before his remains were dumped hours from his home.

The men have also been charged with kidnapping, extortion and misconduct with a corpse.

Two of the men include Anthony Perrett, 38, and Billy Howard, 26, who had previously been charged with his torture.

A third 57-year-old Buderim man will also be charged with torture.

Detective Acting Inspector Murray O’Connell said police will allege the 56-year-old cybersecurity expert was kidnapped and then tortured in multiple locations over several days before he was killed on August 25.

His remains were then left beside Pinpinbugie Road at Maidenwell in Queensland’s Southern Burnett region.

Those remains were located in September.

O’Connell said it’s believed Burow met with the alleged offenders on August 21 and the torture occurred over several days.

He said the investigation involved eight crime scenes across three police regions.

The men are expected to appear before the Brisbane Magistrates Court today.

Burow’s family today issued a statement remembering him as a “caring and loving father” and “loyal and generous son”.

They have requested privacy.

BUROW FAMILY STATEMENT

Andrew will be remembered as a caring and loving father, a loyal and generous son and brother, and someone who was always willing to give people a second chance.

We will miss his enthusiasm for life, his entrepreneurial mindset, and his willingness to give ideas a go.

At this point in the continuing process, we want to thank the Brisbane City Criminal Investigations Branch and Homicide Investigation Unit teams, who have worked so tirelessly, as well as the many other police units throughout the region who have supported them.

Their professionalism, commitment and heartfelt care, together with their high level of skill, have brought us to this point of the journey.

While terrible things can happen to good people, it’s been comforting to experience these officers’ deep care and focus on a safe and just society.

As a family, these are values we share, and we are indebted to everyone who has worked so tirelessly in Andrew’s name.

We also thank the public for coming forward with information to the police.

We encourage others to continue coming forward with any information that may help us as the process continues.
