Gangland


Like a Martin Scorsese sequel, gang violence appears to be back on the agenda in Melbourne after a brief hiatus. In early February, Mario Condello was shot dead in the suburb of Brighton, on the eve of his appearance in court to answer criminal charges. I guess someone thought he might squeal. Meanwhile, convicted murderer Lee Patrick Torney disappeared last year, and is now believed to be another casualty of war.

Update (8/2/06): Lee Patrick Torney's body was discovered yesterday in a mine shaft in central Victoria.
