A 25-year-old man has been charged with the murder of French student Sophie Collombet.

Benjamin James Milward was charged in Queensland after being extradited from NSW earlier today.

French student Sophie Collombet, 21, was found dead on the banks of Brisbane River 12 days ago.  Her naked body was found in Kurilpa Park.

She had been bashed to death.

When police found Mr Milward in Coffs Harbour on Tuesday, he reportedly said: ‘YEAH, yeah – you got me’.

Milward is expected to appear in a Brisbane court tomorrow.
