Duo charged with torture as search for missing Brisbane man continues

Two men have been charged with torture as the search for a Brisbane man not seen for more than a week continues.

Andrew Burow has been missing from his home in Kelvin Grove since August 20 but the matter was not reported to police until four days later.

Police described the 56-year-old cybersecurity worker's disappearance as out of character.

They set up a crime scene at Burow's Lorimer Terrace home near the Queensland University of Technology in Kelvin Grove on Tuesday and another yesterday at a home on Kokoda Avenue in Bli Bli, on the Sunshine Coast.

Forensic officers were combing through the Bli Bli property today as crime scenes were also declared on Black Pinch Road in Pomona, inland from Noosa, and Kamala Drive in the neighbouring suburb of Lake MacDonald.

Today, 38-year-old Anthony Perrett and 26-year-old Billy Howard faced a mention in Maroochydore Magistrates Court, charged with torturing Burow.

The matter was adjourned until tomorrow.

Burow is believed to have contacted a real estate agent about selling his house before he went missing.

Police said Burow's loved ones held "significant concerns".

His friends told 9News that he is "really friendly and cared about people" and hope he is "found safe".

Burow is described as Caucasian with a fair complexion, slightly red and sandy hair and bluish-green eyes.

Anyone who knows where he is or has any information is urged to contact the police immediately.
