Another two men have been charged over the alleged murder of escaped prisoner Nicholas Scott, who was found shot dead outside a home north of Hobart last week.
Shaun George Barrow, 21, from Moonah and David Ian Coles, 44, from Collinsvale, have both been charged with murder and have appeared before the Hobart Magistrates Court today.
Police originally charged 20-year-old Brock Callum Davey, from Granton, with murder on Wednesday.
He remains in custody.
Scott, 26, absconded from prison custody while being treated at the Royal Hobart Hospital (RHH) on Monday night last week, and police later discovered his body outside a house in Granton after responding to a report of a gunshot.
Inside the house, they found a man with non-life-threatening injuries who was taken to the RHH for treatment.
At the time, police said he was "helping with their inquiries".
Scott's escape is the third such incident in as many years involving a prisoner receiving medical attention while in the custody of prison guards.
