Maybe he was planning to move on, so the police arrested him in the dawn arrest to stop that from happening.

imo

Or he disappeared and they waited for him to come back.

 

[Ooohm]

And there's the almighty crash to earth. There is no miraculous survival here. Just the death of a woman and a man who (allegedly) killed her and denied her family closure for over a month.

Like I said, cruel of the DM and every other publication that copied their article. Shame on them.

MOO

Doubt it, he would not be charged with murder in that case. Predator is my guess unfortunately.

The 22 year old has now been charged with murder.Ballarat man charged with murder of missing mum Samantha Murphy

 

[Sher Lock]

So with this guy being charged with murder I think we can rule out car accident as I would have thought that charge would be manslaughter.
Whatever it may be, the family can now slowly move forward.

 

[Warshawski]

He was questioned by police before being charged with one count of murder.

He is due to face the Ballarat Magistrates' Court this afternoon.

I imagine we may hear his name at the presser.

Mr Murphy said he was “relieved” progress had been made in light of Wednesday’s arrest.

He said police had cautioned him not to make any further comments about the investigation.

Urging the media to respect the privacy of his family, he added that they were doing OK and would talk when it was time to talk.

Detectives in an unmarked vehicle were seen at the Murphy residence about 1.45pm.
