A chef with no history of violence was 'unfortunate' to be publicly linked to the disappearance of a prostitute and the death of his flatmate in a house fire.
Gavin Owen Samer was named two decades ago as a suspect in the 1994 presumed murder of 22-year-old Sydney model and escort Revelle Balmain.
He had also shared an apartment with pensioner Rosa Rosenberg, 52, before she was killed in an explosion in their former home in January.
Samer has never been charged in relation to Ms Balmain's disappearance but was convicted of assaulting Ms Rosenberg late last year.
