Charges could be laid over the murder of Brookfield mum-of-three Allison Baden-Clay as early as this week with key test results due very soon.

Police said they were unlikely to make an arrest until they had the results of Mrs Baden-Clay’s autopsy and toxilogy tests.

The results are due some time this week with the usual turnaround for the tests two weeks.

Detective Superintendent Mark Ainsworth said police did not believe the attack was random and confirmed police were confident of making an arrest.

‘‘We believe that Allison may have known her attacker,’’ he told The Sunday Mail.

Mrs Baden-Clay’s body was discovered almost two weeks ago on April 30, 10 days after she was reported missing by her husband Gerard who told police he last saw her at 10pm on April 19 watching television in the living room.

Her body was found by a canoeist under the Kholo Creek Bridge ending a huge search effort which had been launched by police in the bushland surrounding her Brookfield home.

The arrest of her alleged killer will fulfil the vow made by her older sister Vanessa Fowler at Mrs Baden-Clay’s funeral in Ipswich on Friday.

‘‘Allison, there are many questions that are unanswered, many pieces of a puzzle that need to be put together, and we your family pledge to you that we will have these questions answered,’’ she said during the eulogy.

‘‘We will bring you justice and you deserve nothing less.’’
