Updated 4:38pm: A Queensland man has been arrested and charged with the murder of a New Zealand man and interfering with a corpse.

Thirty-two-year-old David Leslie Hickson knew Napier man Campbell Paterson, whose dismembered body was found stuffed in a chilly bin in bush south of Cairns on Thursday.

Mr Paterson had been working in Cairns and returning to Napier, where his wife and four children live, every three or four months.

Mr Paterson had disappeared but was never reported missing, but seven days ago detectives began a search and and a public tipoff led them to the remains.

His whanau in Napier is still coming to terms with his death.
