A MAN has been arrested in Byron Bay over the suspicious disappearance of a Queensland man.
Police have been investigating the disappearance of David Thornton, from Goodna, south-west of Brisbane.
Mr Thornton was last seen in February.
A 24-year-old man has been taken into custody in Byron Bay and it's expected police will apply for his extradition to Queensland.
It's understood the man has not formally been charged but is likely to face Tweed Heads Local Court tomorrow.
He's then expected to be taken before Ipswich Magistrates Court.
Police excavated a freezer from the backyard of a Parker St, Goodna property on Monday.
This has since been confirmed to have contained human remains and forensic testing will be undertaken to confirm the identity of the deceased.
Queensland Police said in a statement the 24-year-old and Mr Thornton were believed to have been known to each other.
Investigations are ongoing.
