The three adult sons of suspected murder victim Sharon Edwards say they are coming to terms with the latest development in her case as their father is extradited to NSW to be charged.
John Edwards, 60, faced Brisbane Magistrates Court on Wednesday where it was ordered he be extradited back to NSW.
NSW Police say Edwards will travel with detectives to Tweed Heads Police Station where he will be charged with murder later.
It's expected he'll then face Tweed Heads Local Court.
"It's something that no family should ever have to go through," Ms Edwards' family - including her sons Zac, Josh and Eli - said in a statement to AAP.
