Late this 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 Avenue home in the heart of Surfers Paradise.
Investigators are looking into whether or not a defenceless 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 the Hi-Ace van he was spotted in.
Yesterday a Coffs Harbour court ordered the extradition of Marius from New South Wales back to Queensland.
Marius has now been charged with one count of murder.
He is expected to appear in Southport Magistrates Court tomorrow.
