MANY who laid Comanchero bikie Faalau Pisu to rest today were also guests at the wedding where the young Samoan was gunned down.

Just 14 days ago Pisu and many of the notorious bikie clan  were partying hard at the wedding of his brother in arms Roki Strbac when he and two other guests were ambushed outside the reception.

The not so glamorous repercussions of the bikie life were laid bare at his funeral held at the Samoan Christian church in Moorebank.

Aged only 23 Pisu was the victim of an internal fight between two chapters of the bikie gang.

Up to 150 bikies mainly Comanchero where in full force today for the funeral. Members of the Lone Wolf and Life and Death Motorcycle Club were also at the church at Moorebank.

He had recently patched over from a small gang called the Rock machine and was a member of the Comanchero Milperra chapter.

To cops he was a bikie, to family he was a church going young man loved by a huge extended family.

Police believe Pisu  was a member of the Canadian-based gang Rock Machine which has had several attempts at setting up in Sydney.

Sources say members were being stood over by  the Rebels so the Rock Machine joined the Comanchero for protection.

Although giving protection from outside gangs it led to  internal fighting mainly  between its key Milperra and Maroubra chapters.

Pisu, a member at Milperra, was involved in a street fight just hours before he was killed at  the wedding in .

He was shot along with another Comanchero member, aged 25, and a 27-year-old gang associate, Jason Brown.

The attack was followed by the shooting of Buddle's 28-year-old cousin, John Devine, a member of the Maroubra chapter, as he made his way to work in Rhodes.

Police identified him as a "person of interest'' into the shooting death of Mr Pisu.

Mr Devine survived the attempt on his life and like the two other victims from the previous shooting, is refusing to cooperate with police inquiries.
