A young Tasmanian man who dismembered his friend and dumped part of his body in bushland has been found guilty of murder.

The partial remains of Jake Anderson-Brettner, 24, were discovered outside the northern city of Launceston on August 19, 2018.

Jack Harrison Vincent Sadler, 29, was found guilty by a Supreme Court jury on Thursday of murder following a trial spanning more than two weeks.

Sadler, who pleaded not guilty to the charge, will be sentenced at a later date.

Mr Anderson-Brettner was last seen driving his Nissan Navara ute in Launceston on August 15.

His torso was discovered four days later, sparking a murder investigation and police and SES search of the city's tip.
