The remains were confirmed on Thursday as those of missing father of two Steven Murphy.
Soon after police said two men, aged 46 and 19, had been charged with Mr Murphy's murder.
The older man was also charged with concealing human remains.
He had been taken into custody earlier this week and charged with drug and firearms offences after police found 20 cannabis plants when they began searching the property at Kudla.
They had gone there after a tip-off on Sunday that there might be a body at the premises.
Police had previously posted an appeal in relation to Mr Murphy's whereabouts on Facebook.
He was last seen at Kudla on February 15 with speculation online that he had been squatting in local farm buildings.
The two charged over his murder are being held in custody to appear in court at a later date.
