An Indian-origin businessman has been found murdered in his home in Australia with the police linking it to an assault on him in March.
Shyam Dhody, 37, was shot dead at his Gilston home in Gold Coast on 5 July, with his partner discovering his body on their bed when she returned home from work.
Dhody was assaulted by an unknown man on 26 March at his former home in Molendinar, and police confirmed Friday they believe the two incidents are linked.
Police released an image of the man believed to have assaulted Dhody while they also appealed for anyone who may have discovered a black crowbar following the March attack to come forward, AAP news agency reported.
Indian-born Dhody was reportedly declared bankrupt two years ago and the Australian Securities and Investments Commission was allegedly preparing to have his new company Roadside Group International struck off.
Detective Superintendent David Hutchinson told reporters that it is believed the crowbar could have been disposed of near the location of the attack or ‘even further away’.
