ONE OF two men who shared a high-security unit with Carl Williams is a suspect in his murder investigation.
Police are reviewing CCTV footage of the fatal bashing, which involved a weapon.
Assistant corrections commissioner Bob Wise said this afternoon that the Melbourne underworld figure had shared his Acacia unit at Barwon jail with two other men and spent six hours a day in a day room with them.
The two men have been separated since the fatal attack.
Williams, 39, died of cardiac arrest about 1.30pm after receiving treatment for head injuries.
Williams was serving life imprisonment in Barwon's maximum security Acacia unit with a non-parole period of 35 years for ordering the murders of three underworld rivals and the failed conspiracy to murder a fourth person.
