The arrest of the suspect for armed robbery in Queensland in November came as a breakthrough in Strike Force Bumble - the investigation into the murder of Corey Power.

Detectives were led to Brisbane through an examination of electronic devices and social media posts.

Upon the suspect’s arrest, detectives said they would be seeking to extradite him when court proceedings for the robbery concluded.

But 10 months after his arrest, and three months after he was sentenced for his Queensland robbery charges, he remains in a Queensland prison.  

As of Thursday evening, the Queensland justice minister’s office was unable to provide an update of the extradition proceedings.

A spokesperson said the case was not, “run of the mill” and required a senior advisor’s advice. 

The department said they were going through court records to give accurate information. 

There was initially uncertainty about which department was responsible for extradition matters – the police minister or the Attorney General – when information was sought. 

Detective Acting Inspector Damian Nott of Cootamundra Local Area Command said that while the investigation was ongoing, police were unable to move forward with the case until the extradition was processed. 

“At this stage we’re waiting on extradition proceedings which have been ongoing for some time to get the suspect to NSW...,” Acting Inspector Nott said. 

“We’re basically in their hands [the Attorney General’s office] while the matter’s processed in Queensland.”
