Key evidence in the murder of AC/DC manager Crispin Dye sat untested for almost three decades. Now testing has identified a new person of interest in the unsolved case.
Former AC/DC manager Crispin Dye died on Christmas Day in 1993, after being attacked near Oxford Street in the inner-city Sydney suburb of Darlinghurst, where he had been celebrating the release of his debut solo album.
"Cris was softly spoken. He was a lovely guy who was very creative. The times that I did see him we got on really well. He had a lot to contribute and as I say, he needn't have died in that way, in that fashion. It was pretty brutal."They hadn't been forensically tested until an inquiry into LGBTIQ hate crimes began this year.
Hair on the clothing was also discovered but came back with a partial DNA result of an unmatched male.Assisting Counsel Meg O'Brien says the fact that police hadn't found them before is extraordinary.
