- True Crime
In December 2020 one WA’s most fearsome bikie heavyweights was assassinated in front of hundreds of people at the Kwinana Motorplex, sparking an unprecedented response from both police and politicians.
Taskforce Ravello smashed in doors, raided properties, locked up people in the hunt for Martin’s killer.
Meanwhile, Martins lavish and at times bizarre funeral was livestreamed as a procession of bikies followed behind the casket.
In this episode Tim is joined by Chief Reporter Ben Harvey, as they outline the events that led to the arrest of the Sniper, and another man, nicknamed The Baker, the alleged mastermind behind the killing.
Now in another bizarre twist the case is back before the courts, with Nick Martin’s widow lodging a claim for damages – against the State of Western Australia, and the shooter.
Incredibly, the Sniper whose identity is suppressed made an extraordinary court appearance, claiming he doesn’t care who knows his name, despite being a marked man.
