A MELBOURNE man has been charged with the murder of prominent interior designer Stuart Rattle, who was found dead after a unit fire.
Firefighters found Mr Rattle's body at his South Yarra unit early on Monday.
Michael O'Neill, 47, who is believed to be Mr Rattle's partner, briefly appeared in Melbourne Magistrates Court today after being charged with a single count of murder.
He was remanded in custody to appear again on June 5.
The 53-year-old Mr Rattle, who also had a home in the popular Victorian tourist town of Daylesford, has been remembered as talented and generous man who created "value and beauty in society".
Mr Rattle was well-known in the Daylesford area for the beautiful English gardens of his 35-hectare property, Musk Farm.
