Police charge 22yo man with murder of missing Ballarat mum Samantha Murphy
Police will allege Samantha Murphy was murdered on the day she vanished after leaving her Ballarat East home for a morning run more than a month ago.
On Thursday, police charged him with Ms Murphy's murder and he appeared before Ballarat Magistrates' Court for a brief hearing.
Victoria Police Chief Commissioner Shane Patton said police would allege Ms Murphy died in a "deliberate attack" in the Ballarat suburb of Mount Clear.
Chief Commissioner Patton said finding Ms Murphy's body remained of "primary importance".
"Our investigators will be not stepping back at all, in fact we'll be going even harder to try and recover her body," he said.
