Supreme Court jury yet to reach a verdict for eight bikie-linked men accused of murdering Jason De Ieso

A Supreme Court jury has spent about 23 hours deliberating about the fate of eight Hells Angels-linked men accused of murdering Jason De Ieso.

A Supreme Court jury will on Monday enter its fifth day of deliberations in the long-running mega trial of eight bikie-linked men accused of the shooting murder of Jason De Ieso.

The jury of six men and six woman were sent out Wednesday to begin deliberating on Thursday.

So far, across the past four days, the jury has spent 23 hours considering the fate for each of the charged men who are accused of storming Mr De Ieso’s Pooraka workshop on November 21, 2012 and shooting him at “point blank” range.

The men standing trial are: brothers Husain Alzuain, 35, of Goodwood, Mohamed Alzuain, 32, of Mile End and Musa Ali Alzuain, 30, of St Morris, and Daniel Mark Jalleh, 34, of Clovelly Park, Ross William Montgomery, 38, of Andrews Farm, Seywan Moradi, 36, of Walkley Heights, Kyle Lloyd Pryde, 35, of Adelaide and Nicholas Sianis, 36, of Beverley.

Each of the men has pleaded not guilty to a charge of murder.

Opening the trial in May, prosecutors Jim Pearce KC, told the jury Mr De Ieso was unwittingly caught amid a “cascading” bikie war between the Hells Angels and Finks which had been ongoing for 18 months.

The jury had been told the man who allegedly fired the fatal shot was former Olympic hopeful boxer Musa Alzuain and that the alleged intended target of the ambush was senior Fink Charles Bonnici.

The jury was told each of the accused men was closely linked to the Hells Angels and that all except Musa Alzuain had become members.

Mr Pearce told the jury the group alleged to be the accused had first travelled to Mr Bonnici’s northern suburbs tattoo parlour, Lords of Ink, and attacked staff before driving to Mr De Ieso’s business where Mr Bonnici was also known to frequent.

The key prosecution witness, who cannot be identified, told the jury he had seen the accused men at a Salisbury Hwy home and that gloves and hoodies were being handed out. He also told the jury he saw the men handling guns.

Defence counsel for each of the men said it could not be proved beyond reasonable doubt that their clients were pictured in CCTV vision of the incident.

They also claimed the key witness was a “compulsive liar” and a “bottom feeder” whose evidence was “dreadful” and an attempt to “save his own skin”.

Michael Jandy, for Mr Sianis, said there was “something off about this case”, while Ellie Mansfield, for Mr Montgomery said that “no-one here, not even the prosecution, are seriously suggesting that you can accept every word that falls from his lips as gospel”.
