Gable Tostee, the man accused of killing New Zealand woman Warriena Wright in the Gold Coast balcony death, has changed his name.
Tostee is now known as Eric Thomas, after changing his name by deed poll Brisbane newspaper the Courier-Mail reported today.
He has listed his occupation as "witch" on his Facebook profile, apparently repeating the assertion he was the victim of a media witch-hunt.
Ms Wright and Tostee met on dating app Tinder. Ms Wright, known to friends as Rrie, fell 14 floors to her death in August after allegedly climbing over the balcony of Tostee's Surfers Paradise apartment.
In November, Tostee, 28, pleaded not guilty to a murder charge and was bailed. He was jailed this week on unrelated charges relating to a drunken, high-speed police pursuit that happened in July.
Tostee is awaiting trial over the death of Ms Wright.
