Surgeon 'partied as escort lay dead'
A Sydney neurosurgeon snorted cocaine with three high-class prostitutes while another lay dead on his apartment floor, a court has heard.
Suresh Surendranath Nair, 41, then allegedly failed to turn up to work at Nepean Hospital the following day, instead renting a penthouse suite in the Rocks for himself and the three escorts, leaving the body of 22-year-old Suellen Domingues Zaupa behind.
The surgeon applied for bail on the charge of murdering Ms Zaupa, a student from Brazil, last November and manslaughter of another escort, Victoria McIntyre, seven months earlier.
Both women’s bodies were found in Nair’s Elizabeth Bay apartment, with toxicology reports showing they died from cocaine overdoses.
Nair was previously released on bail in January but was re-arrested two days later when he was found with cocaine and prostitutes.
The Daily Telegraph reported Justice Roderick Howie said Nair had a compulsion for prostitutes and must have realised he was morally, if not legally, responsible for their deaths.
Nair has not entered a plea but his lawyer said he would fight the charges.
