A third person has been charged in relation to the murder of a Northern Territory man last seen at a local pub more than a year ago. 

Tony Rowe went missing in May, 2022, after he and a friend visited a licensed venue in Darwin's northern suburbs.

Late last month his remains were found at a location south of the city.

On Thursday, police said a 42-year-old man had been arrested and charged with accessory after the fact to murder, attempting to pervert the course of justice, aggravated assault, and making demands.

He was remanded in custody and is expected to appear in Darwin Local Court on Thursday.

Detectives previously charged a 29-year-old man with one count of a dangerous act causing death, after extraditing him from Queensland.

Those charges were later upgraded to murder after the discovery of Mr Rowe's body.

A 21-year-old woman was also charged with making false statements and destruction of evidence after police extradited her from Western Australia.

Both were remanded in custody to appear in court on July 12.
