What a tangled web, hit men, drug syndicate boss etc.
New South Wales police reinvestigating the 36-year-old murder of Griffith anti-drugs campaigner Donald Mackay have been told two hit men dumped the body in a well at a property near Hay on their way back to Melbourne.
Police have been able to establish historical links between key figures of the Griffith mafia โ alleged to have organised the hit โ and the property now at the centre of the latest investigation.
The theory, believed to be supported by fresh information from an inside source, suggests Mackay was shot in the car park of the Griffith Hotel, bundled into the boot of a car and driven to a Hay property 150 kilometres away before the killers drove to Echuca and on to Melbourne.
Mafia insider, Gianfranco Tizzoni, gave evidence that he paid Melbourne hit man James Frederick Bazley $10,000 to carry out the murder.
He said he acted as a middle man for notorious crime figure Bob Trimbole who had agreed to organise the contract killing on behalf of Griffith crime figures.
Trimbole and Tizzoni were once in business together, repairing pinball machines in the Griffith and Hay districts.
