The flatmate of a hospitality student found dead in a neurosurgeon’s Sydney lodgings says there is “no way” the dead woman was a doxy.
The girl, a Brazilian hospitality management graduate known as Suellen, 22, was found dead in the $1.7 million Elizabeth Bay apartment of Sydney brain surgery Suresh Nair nine days ago.
Reports yesterday said Suellen was a high-class escort and had been in Dr Nair’s residence with two other women when she died.
But a good friend of Suellen, who lived with her in Crows Nest, said she was a “fun-loving, accountable” girl who had just finished college and was about to take off on a road tour to Perth before begin to work.“She lived with us for 10 months,” said the man, who asked not to be named.
“The lifestyle she lived was by no means that of a high class escort girl and none of us who knew her well believe she would be capable of doing such a thing.
“We all know all is possible, that people keep secrets, but were this assertion true it would have to be one of the best kept secrets in the world.”
Dr Nair, 41, was charged on Wednesday with supplying drugs in relation to the discovery of Suellen’s body. He will appear in tribunal on December 15.
Suellen’s room-mate said constabulary told him she had been lying dead in Dr Nair’s apartment for up to 36 hours before her dead body was found, which means she might have died as early as Thursday, November 19.
Police broke into the rooms on the afternoon of Saturday, November 21, after Dr Nair’s affilates at Nepean Hospital became worried when he didn’t turn up for surgery appointments that week, The Sun-Herald reported yesterday.
Dr Nair, who had been suspended by the NSW Medical Board in 2004 and 2008, was not at home at the time.
He was understood to have handed himself in to constabulary about 3.30pm last Sunday
