A Sunshine Coast man has been charged with murder after another man’s body was found a week after he died in a Brisbane apartment.
Police were called to a Vine Street unit in the inner southern Brisbane suburb of Stones Corner about 1am on Friday to conduct a welfare check.
Officers found the body of a 61-year-old man inside the unit.
Investigations to determine the circumstances surrounding the man’s death are ongoing but police believe he died following an altercation in the unit about 10pm on August 9.
Detectives arrested a man on the Sunshine Coast just after midnight on Friday.
They allege the 40-year-old Sunshine Coast man knew the deceased.
He was charged with one count of murder and will appear in the Maroochydore Magistrates Court on August 19.
Police have urged anyone who witnessed suspicious behaviour in the area or might have information about the incident to contact them.
