Murdered chef led double life

A young chef found bludgeoned to death in his home had links to Brisbane's underworld drug scene, it has been alleged.

Peter Milos, 26, was found murdered in the garage of his Morningside home on Tuesday.

Just three months ago he was evicted from an apartment in Fortitude Valley after it was raided by drug squad detectives who suspected he was dealing ecstasy at a music festival, the Courier-Mail reports.

That incident followed his alleged beating of another man with a metal bar in the basement of his apartment building.

His eldest brother, Allen Milos, is also serving 13 years in prison after being caught in a drug sting.

A stream of people used to visit Peter at his Fortitude Valley apartment and yesterday homicide detectives were quizzing residents for further information.

"He was just a decent bloke who got caught up with the wrong people," friend Ryan Grossberg told the Courier-Mail.

He added that he noticed a change in the chef about a week ago when he became depressed and moody.

Peter reportedly was seen by former neighbours driving luxury cars, including a black Mercedes, but recently he had downgraded to a hatchback.

It was also reported Peter had battled a heroin addiction, although his brother Daniel Milos said he had no knowledge of his brother using drugs and would be shocked if police investigations focused on it.

"He is no big drug kingpin. Everything he owns is in a tiny little bedroom," Daniel was quoted as saying.

No drugs were found in the Morningside home.

Peter and Daniel were once co-owners of a fine-dining restaurant at Toowong. Daniel yesterday said his brother had taken time off from the restaurant to write a cookbook and had a ticket to fly to London to meet his girlfriend in a few weeks.

Police still have no suspects in the murder.

It is understood the weapon may have been a household tool.
