Detectives from Launceston CIB yesterday charged a Mowbray man with ‘conspiracy’ in relation to the disappearance and suspected murder of Launceston man Christopher Dean Watkins.

Christopher Brewer-Parker aged 24, appeared in the Launceston Magistrates court last night in relation to this charge and was granted court bail to next appear on 7 October 2015.

Police will allege that Brewer-Parker conspired with others to pervert the due course of justice by deliberating providing false information during the police investigation.

This charge follows the arrest of two Launceston men last week who were also charged with conspiracy in relation to the 28-year-old’s disappearance on August 7, 2013.

Mr Watkins was last seen at a Box Street unit in Mayfield in 2013.

Tasmania Police last week announced a $50,000 reward for anyone who provides information that leads to a prosecution in the case of Mr Watkins.

Anyone with information about Mr Watkins’ disappearance should contact Launceston police on 131 444 or Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.
