A married businessman whose body was found in a Queensland hotel room died when a sex act with a prostitute went horribly wrong, police will allege, as she remains behind bars charged with manslaughter.
Mr Brady had been in Cairns on a business trip but failed to return to his family in the Queensland capital on Thursday. Hotel staff and police discovered his body about 4pm on Friday, with Lewin arrested on Sunday morning.
Police allege Mr Brady's death was the result of a sexual encounter with Lewin that went wrong in the hotel room. Brisbane businessman Anthony Brady pictured was found dead in a hotel room in Cairns on Friday. Police will allege Lewin owed Mr Brady a 'duty of care' but instead fled the hotel room on Wednesday night, according to The Courier Mail. Court documents from Cairns Magistrates Court on Monday state police believe Mr Brady died 'on or about' last Thursday following his meeting with the sex worker the night before.
Exactly what happened next remains unclear. Brady's family raised the alarm when he did not arrive home in Brisbane the next day. Queensland Police officers combed through drains and shrubs close to where he was last sighted.
Police initially released an image of Lewin in an effort to identify her to help with their investigation. They now allege Mr Brady's death was due to a sex act gone wrong between the pair. She was on parole at the time of the arrest and had previously been named only as a person of interest on Saturday, with police releasing images of her as part of a public information campaign.
