A FOURTH person has been charged over the brutal murder of teenager Brayden Dillon, who was shot dead as he slept in bed.
Police allege Brayden was murdered by Conrad Craig in retribution for his older brother allegedly stabbing another teen to death in Panania in 2016.
Police were called to a home on Moresby Avenue, Glenfield, in April last year, and found 15-year-old Brayden in bed with a gunshot wound to his head.
He was treated by NSW Ambulance paramedics before being taken to The Children’s Hospital at Westmead in a critical condition, where he later died.
