 | Hundreds of mourners gathered to farewell Hells Angel bikie associate Kemel ‘Blackie’ Barakat who was shot dead in his bed as he slept. More than a dozen bullets found their mark. Police are investigating whether Barakat was killed for his role in the brazen public shooting of hitman Hamad Assaad in October. Barakat, who was a senior member in the Comancheros before switching allegiances, was thought to be the prime suspect in Assaad's death. |  |
