The ex-husband of Gold Coast mother-of-three Kelly Wilkinson allegedly offered a workmate $1,000 to drive him to her house where he is accused of killing her by dousing her in petrol and setting her alight.
Bradley Bell, a 25-year-old colleague of ex Brian Earle Johnston, was arrested at a business in Coomera on Tuesday morning and charged with Ms Wilkinson s murder.
His lawyer has said he will defend the charge.
Queensland Police will allege that Bell knew Johnston was planning to kill the mother-of-three and drove his colleague to Ms Wilkinson s home on April 20.
Bell and Johnston allegedly stopped to fill up a jerry can of petrol on the way to Ms Wilkinson s Arundel property that day, police will claim in court.
