Police said 48-year-old Raymond Neilson was found dead in his Tokomaru Bay home on 15 December.

The men, aged 24 and 29, have been remanded to appear in the Gisborne High Court on 3 February 2020.

"At this time police are not seeking anyone else in relation to Mr Neilson's death, however, the investigation remains ongoing and we believe there are still people in the community who may have information which can help," Detective Senior Sergeant Kevin Ford said.

Anyone with information is urged to call police on 105.
