A crocodile tour guide is set to face court to be charged with murdering a young woman who led white water rafting adventures in tropical Queensland.
Jo La Spina's accused killer Musa Brandon Ngwira will be extradited from Sydney to Cairns on Wednesday morning.
Later that day, he is expected to appear in Cairns Magistrates Court where he will be formally charged with murder.
Miss La Spina, 26, was found dead in a bedroom of a Bingil Bay home, south of Cairns, on April 19.
The local rafting guide, described as lovely and caring by her family, spent the previous evening having dinner and dancing with a group of friends before returning to a friend's house and heading to bed alone.
Detectives haven't revealed how she died but have said they aren't looking for a weapon.
Miss La Spina's mother Shelley is struggling to come to terms with her daughter's death.
"Every morning I wake up hoping this is just a nightmare," she wrote in a letter to the Cairns Post.
"We will love you for ever and ever and then more."
Ngwira, a 31-year-old South African citizen, moved to far north Queensland from Sydney in March to take up a job as a tour guide. He has lived in Australia for at least a year.
Police have said he wasn't in a relationship with Miss La Spina but the pair had socialised on a number of occasions as they worked in the same industry and had mutual friends.
Far north Detective Acting Inspector Kevin Goan said on Monday that police were not seeking anyone else in connection over the death.
