A new police taskforce has been established to coordinate investigations into the escalation of gangland violence across Sydney’s southwest which has seen three men shot dead in as many weeks.
Thirteen people have been killed in gang violence in Sydney’s west and southwest over the past 18 months.
The latest shooting happened on Saturday when the 23-year-old Rami Iskander—the nephew of slain gangland figure Mahmoud “Brownie” Ahmad—was shot dead at his western Sydney home—the third fatal shooting in recent weeks.
It comes after two Comanchero bikies were gunned down at a western Sydney gym on Tuesday night.
