Two men have been charged with murder after a Chinese national was found dead in a gaming cafe stairwell in Sydney's CBD.

Tao Cheng, 25, entered the FBI Cyber Cafe in the Meriton shopping precinct on Kent Street around 9pm on December 4 and his body was found by a cleaner three days later on December 7 at about 3pm.

The injuries suffered by Cheng have led police to label his death as "suspicious" and detectives are currently investigating the man's links to Sydney.
