A man has been charged with murder and another is expected to be extradited from Queensland after a body was found in a metal cabinet in northern NSW.

Police became aware of a missing person after launching an investigation in March into the supply of drugs in the Caringbah area in Sydney’s south.

Homicide squad detectives on May 12 searched Warrell Creek in Macksville, south of Coffs Harbour, where they recovered the body of a 22-year-old man in a large metal cabinet.

Three days later, a 22-year-old man was arrested and later charged with murder. He was refused bail.

Another 33-year-old man was arrested across the border in Queensland after several raids across the Brisbane area on Wednesday, with an application made for his extradition to NSW.
