A man has been charged with murdering Breeana Robinson, the cheerleader who fell from a luxury high-rise apartment in Southport in 2013.
A 45-year-old Nerang man will face Southport Magistrates Court's on Saturday charged with one count each of murder, damaging evidence with intent and attempted fraud.
It's been six long years since Ms Robinson plunged to her death from a luxury high-rise apartment owned by her boyfriend.
Her aunt, Janine Mackney, was overjoyed with the arrest on Friday.
She never accepted an initial view that the 21-year-old took her own life and embarked on a relentless campaign to convince authorities it was murder.
"I still can't think straight," Ms Mackney told AAP outside a Gold Coast court hoping to see the accused after she learned of the arrest.
"All I have ever wanted in this six-year battle is clear Breeana's name."
Officers say newly acquired opinions from two biomechanics experts - that Ms Robinson, who was legally blind, was thrown from the balcony - played a big part in the arrest."It's obvious from where she landed, the way the body was lying, witness accounts, that the only possible option in our view is that she was thrown, and that she did not jump or fall," Detective Inspector Brendan Smith told reporters.
The charge of damaging evidence would relate to allegations the man deleted text messages about what occurred during a domestic incident on the night Ms Robinson died.
The detective would not speculate on the motive for the alleged murder, saying: "Only he knows that."
Ms Mackney has been at every court hearing about her niece's death on January 29, 2013.
She always carried pink roses and photos of her young, bubbly niece - often depicting her wearing her Gold Coast Titans cheerleading outfit - to remind people who Breeana was.
