Tostee has refused to answer any questions, according to News Ltd, but has declared his innocence on Facebook and an online body building forum in recent days.

Yesterday Ms Wright’s younger sister Reza, 23, made an emotional public statement about her sister’s death, describing the woman — known to friends as “Rrie” — as ‘a strong supporter for animal rights’ who stood by her convictions. 

“It is hard for me facing the loss of my sister without knowing what happened in the last hours of her life… My sister was the most important person in my world,” she said.

“We really only had each other. She looked after me and always made sure that I was okay and she was really responsible as well.”

Warriena had arrived in Queensland on July 29 for a holiday planned to coincide with a friend’s wedding, Fairfax Media reports.
