Roberto Troyan: Colourful Character, Lively Lifestyle...

Police have launched a manhunt after a wealthy socialite was found battered to death in his Mayfair flat.
Robert Troyan, 59, was found on the kitchen floor of the flat in Mount Street on Friday afternoon. He had suffered head injuries.
Mr Troyan was the former partner of the interior designer and architect Anthony Feldman and the couple were the first in London to enter into a civil partnership in December 2005, just a month before Mr Feldman died of pancreatic cancer.
Famed for their “Mayfair dinners” the pair enjoyed entertaining at their home in the top two storeys of an eighteenth century town house in Hertford Street, Mayfair where the “where champagne was always chilled and ready to open.” 
Scotland Yard said police were called to the address in Mount Street just before 4pm last Friday to reports of a man collapsed. He was pronounced dead at the scene. There have been no arrests.
A Times obituary for Mr Feldman, who died aged 52, described how Mr Feldman counted former MP Jonathan Aitken and Princess Michael of Kent among his clients.
Neighbours today told how after his partner’s death Mr Troyan moved to an apartment building in Mount Street after neighbours began complaining about his “lively lifestyle.”
Today one of Mr Troyan’s Hertford Street neighbours, who did not wish to be named, described him as a “colourful character” who was “devastated” by his partner’s death.
He said: “He came from a very monied background in America. He was totally devastated by Anthony’s death. It was Anthony that really kept everything running smoothly in both their lives.
“After Anthony died, there was quite a lot of coming and going of various characters, and it caused some problems. Nothing would surprise me. In the end Robert moved to Mount Street. I went past there on Friday, and I actually thought - ‘I hope it’s not him’.”

Gosh, can't imagine what this is all about.
Poor sod.
