Two more people have been charged with murder after the body of a man was discovered at a rural property in northwest Tasmania last month.

The 59-year-old was found by emergency services in the tiny town of Sprent on January 23.

Tasmania Police on Thursday charged a 28-year-old man from West Ulverstone with murder, as well as a 32-year-old man from Devonport.

The pair, who are expected to appear in Devonport Magistrates Court on Thursday afternoon, are also facing charges of aggravated burglary, burglary, stealing and unlawfully setting fire to property.

Nikiya Lee Coleman, 18, was charged with murder on Wednesday, while Devonport man Dale Ronald Pyke was the first to be charged with murder on January 26.

Both have appeared in court but are yet to enter pleas.
