But a decade on, the death of Gareth Williams - found naked inside a padlocked North Face holdall in the bath of his London flat - remains unsolved.
The coroner's inquest in 2012 ruled that it was "likely" that the 31-year-old's death was a criminal act, but the Metropolitan Police later concluded Gareth had acted alone, locking himself in the bag before he died.
Earlier this month, the force confirmed a new forensic review, using the latest DNA techniques, would take a fresh look at the evidence in a bid to crack the case.
Unidentified DNA found on the padlock of the bag, a hair found in Williams hand and a semen stain on a towel could hold the key to unlocking the riddle.
Angela Gallop, former head of the lab where the review is likely to take place, has also said the door to the flat - removed by the Met - could throw up more clues.
Hamish Campbell, the Met’s Head of Homicide at the time of the murder, said the advances in DNA technology meant the review could find new evidence.
“It takes time, but a decade has passed and the ability to extract DNA sampling from smaller amounts, and to enhance the material that was there back then, has increased,” says the former DCI.
"The limited DNA profiling which already exists can now be enhanced to deliver a more meaningful profile, because at the time it was insignificant and didn't really help anybody.
“Also, there is always value in having another look at whether a DNA sample comes up on the database, because someone could have been arrested in the meantime.”
