Crime scenes declared in man’s disappearance

Police have charged two men with torture and crime scenes have been declared at Bli Bli, Pomona, Lake MacDonald and in Brisbane as they continue investigations into the suspicious disappearance of 56-year-old Andrew Burow from Kelvin Grove on 20 August.

On 27 August officers declared a crime scene at a Kokoda Avenue address in Bli Bli a day after a crime scene was declared at a Lorimer Terrace address at Kelvin Grove.

Two additional crime scenes have since been declared at Black Pinch Road, Pomona and Kamala Drive, Lake MacDonald.

Following investigations, officers arrested two men, a 26-year-old North Lakes man and a 38-year-old Sippy Downs man.

Both men have been charged with one count each of torture.

Andrew Burow’s out of character disappearance was first reported to police on 24 August.

Investigations led detectives to believe the disappearance to be suspicious and on 27 August, an Incident Centre was established by Brisbane City Criminal Investigation Branch under Operation Veer.

The 38-year-old Sippy Downs man was remanded in custody and is due to reappear in Maroochydore Magistrates Court tomorrow, 29 August.

The 26-year-old North Lakes man was remanded in custody and is due to reappear in Maroochydore Magistrates Court on 13 October.

Officers remain at all listed crime scenes as investigations continue.

Police and family hold significant concerns for Andrew’s welfare as he has not contacted anyone since his disappearance.

He is described as Caucasian with a fair complexion, reddish /sandy hair and bluish-green eyes. Anyone with knowledge of Andrew’s whereabouts or information is urged to contact police immediately.
