Beauty clinic founder pays tribute to husband found stabbed to death outside luxury home
Norwegian-born beauty entrepreneur Gry Susann Tomte has paid tribute to her husband after he was found stabbed to death in the front garden of their luxury on Queensland's Sunshine Coast. A neighbour found the body of Tomte's husband, Zdravko (Zed) Bilic, 57, about 7.30pm on Monday in the Sunshine Coast suburb of Warana. 'He was the kindest, gentlest person I've ever known,' Tomte told 9News. 'Loved by everyone who ever had the fortune of meeting him,' she said. Tomte was away from the home at the time of Bilic's death and had asked a neighbour to check up on him after not having heard from him for some time. The neighbour found him dead about 7.30pm on Monday. Police believe he was killed some 20 hours before he was found. Loading She is the founder of HÜD, a high-end skin and beauty clinic with locations in the Melbourne suburbs of St Kilda and Northcote. The clinics' offerings include laser treatments, peels, clinical facials and skin needling, with prices ranging from around $50 to upwards of $500. 'HÜD is an award-winning skin clinic, based in Melbourne. It's the Scandi, minimalist brainchild of Norwegian skin expert, Gry Tomte,' the company's website reads. Tomte studied at The University of Oslo, and started her beauty empire later in life in 2017 – an idea sparked by her own visits to a beautician in Canada. She trained with the beautician before working as a waxer and nail artist, eventually starting her own business. Tomte also worked as a high-performance coach, giving business advice to other entrepreneurs, and was slated to speak at the Brisbane Aesthetic Summit on July 21, according to Instagram.
