A second man has been charged today by detectives investigating the murder of Sam Price-Purcell, Queensland Police say.

A 29-year-old Roma man was charged by detectives from the Homicide Investigation Unit and Ferny Grove Criminal Investigation Branch.

"Police would like to thank members of the public who have assisted in this investigation. It would not have been solved without them coming forward and speaking with police."
