Certainly not good when there has been a wrongful conviction of Andrew Mallard and the next suspect doesn't make trial.
Rochford had been interviewed by police on May 11 about the Lawrence murder and had subsequently been placed on suicide watch.
He was taken off suicide watch on Tuesday .
Mr Johnson said Rochford had seen TV reports last night which publicly named him as a suspect.
"I am not aware of a suicide note. We are not going to assume this is a suicide, but there is nothing to indicate that is not the case".
Rochford was jailed in July 1995 for the murder of his girlfriend, Brigitta Dickens.
He battered her to death with a home-made barbell.
The attack took place at a backpackers' hostel in Scarborough, a town near Perth, just seven weeks after the body of Mrs Lawrence was found in her city-centre store.
