THE man accused of killing a Gold Coast father of two has been formally charged with murder following his extradition from NSW yesterday.
Coskun Marius, 26, was photographed smirking inside an unmarked police car as he was driven out of a Coffs Harbour police station.
Yesterday afternoon the failed rapper was brought into Southport Watchhouse where he was charged by Gold Coast detectives with the murder of 38-year-old Dre Nova.
It will be alleged Marius bludgeoned Mr Nova to death with a blunt object on Friday afternoon in his Markwell Ave home in the heart of Surfers Paradise.
Investigators are looking into whether Mr Nova was asleep at the time of the attack.
It will be alleged Marius left the home on Friday and drove to Coffs Harbour where he was arrested on Sunday afternoon after a member of the public spotted his Hi-Ace van.
Yesterday a Coffs Harbour court ordered the extradition of Marius from NSW back to Queensland.
Marius has been charged with one count of murder.
He is expected to appear in Southport Magistrates Court today.
