David Lee Tan was allegedly captured on CCTV filling in a lube pit at his Coopers Plains business with concrete in February.

Mr Walsh, 27, was found encased in concrete in the pit by detectives in early March, after he had been reported missing in January.

Police prosecutor Sergeant Wade Domagala who opposed Tan’s bail, said he was “effectively a career criminal”.

“He’s been committing offences for over 20 years,” Sgt Domagala said.

“He’s served several sentences of imprisonment for serious offending in New South Wales.”
