Man arrested after body found in Sydney's Glenorie

A man has been arrested in connection with the death of Johnny Birch, whose body was found partially buried in Sydney’s north-west. Birch, 40, was known to have links to the local drug trade. His family reported him missing on March 13. A relative later discovered his body in a paddock near a home in Glenorie. The family member had grown worried about Birch's safety and went looking for him. Police have launched a manhunt in the Dural area since the discovery of the body. On Sunday, they arrested a man and are currently interviewing him at Castle Hill police station. No charges have been laid yet. Birch is described by his family as a good family man, but he had a troubled past, including multiple prison stints. Prior to Birch’s body being found, two men and a woman were arrested on March 14 during police operations but were released the next day without charges.
