The 23-year-old man was arrested on Thursday, following the arrest of an 18-year-old in November.

The 64-year-old man was found dead with a serious head injury at a Creek Road address on Palm Island on November 11.

The teenager will face the Townsville Magistrate Court on August 10.

The 23-year-old has been refused bail and will appear in the Townsville Magistrate Court on Friday.
