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.
