A third man has been arrested over the murder of man whose body was found in a bush grave in December last year.
Jacob Munro went missing from Schofields in Sydney’s west in July last year, and detectives were unable to find any sign of him until they received information pointing them to Bulahdelah State Forest in December.
There, Munro's body was located in a bush grave, having suffered significant injuries.
Last week, detectives arrested a 68-year-old Yetman man and a 21-year-old Lake Munmorah man and charged them over the murder.
About 9.30am today, officers arrested a 25-year-old man at a Young address.
The property was also searched.
The man was charged and refused bail to appear in court later today.
Police said they expect to make further arrests.
Anybody with information on the incident is urged to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.
