Swinbourne was allegedly dragged out of his car at Hope Island's Harbour Point Shopping Complex, robbed and stabbed to death with a kitchen carving knife at about 2:30pm last Monday, March 12.
According to police, his attacker was a man whom he had allegedly met to sell drugs to.

Haedyn Rawson, 23, was last week charged with murder over Swinbourne's death, but police have now charged a second man, aged 24, with murder and robbery over the incident.
The 24-year-old is due to appear in Southport Magistrates Court later today.
Rawson appeared in court last week and did not enter a plea. He remains in custody.
Police said last week that only a very minor quantity of drugs was suspected to be involved in the stabbing, and ruled out the involvement of any organised crime.
