Police are still awaiting the results of DNA tests to determine if human remains found near Maidenwell earlier this month belong to missing Brisbane man Andrew Burow.<\/p>\n

A spokesperson said the “potential” human remains were yet to be formally identified.<\/p>\n

Andrew Burow, 56, disappeared from\u00a0Kelvin Grove on August 21.<\/p>\n

His disappearance was reported to police three days later.<\/p>\n

On August 27, Brisbane detectives established Operation Veer to investigate.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Police and SES volunteers blocked off a section of Brooklands-Pimpimbudgee Road on September 2-3 while searchers scoured the area.<\/p>\n

An area alongside the D’Aguilar Highway on the Blackbutt Range was also declared a crime scene.<\/p>\n

Police investigating Mr Burow’s disappearance have charged two men – Billy Howard, 26, from North Lakes; and Anthony Perrett, 48, from Sippy Downs – with one count each of torture.<\/p>\n

The pair are due to reappear in court on October 13. They have not been charged with any other offence.<\/p>\n
