Police have charged two men with murder as part of Operation Whisky Realm, established to investigate the homicide of a man whose remains were found on the Sunshine Coast yesterday.

The 25-year-old man was initially reported missing on June 4, after he was last seen at a Rupert Crescent, Morayfield, address on May 28.

Following extensive investigations, a homicide investigation was launched, which led to the arrest of two men from Caboolture yesterday.

The remains of the 25-year-old were located yesterday at an abandoned quarry near Mount Ngungun.

A 22-year-old Caboolture man has been charged with one count each of murder and misconduct with corpse by interfering.

He is due to appear in the Caboolture Magistrates Court today.
