POLICE have charged a woman over the shooting murder of 15-year-old Brayden Dillon in Sydney’s south west.
A 35-year-old woman was arrested at Riverstone Police Station about 9.30am on Monday and has since been charged with being an accessory after the fact to murder.
The Doonside woman has been refused bail to appear at Blacktown Local Court today.
It is understood the woman is the sister of Conrad Craig, who was charged with shooting Brayden as he slept inside his Glenfield home in April last year.
Police allege Brayden was murdered in retribution for his older brother allegedly stabbing another teen to death in Panania in 2016.
Investigators on Monday charged the woman with being an accessory to the murder after the fact, knowingly dealing with the proceeds of crime, perverting the course of justice, drug supply and participating in a criminal group.
Police will allege the woman handled money to help provide a false affidavit on behalf of her brother and passed information about the murder between various people.
They will also allege she obtained drugs to take into a prison under the direction of an inmate.
The latest arrest comes after Sophie Massie pleaded guilty this month to being the getaway driver after the shooting and as police search for another man, Abdul Abu-Mahmoud, wanted for questioning over the teen’s death.

Chilling details of Brayden’s murder were revealed after the mother-of-two pleaded guilty this month to being an accessory after the fact to murder.
Massie, 32, admitted to driving the accused shooter, Conrad Craig, to and from the Dillon family home in Glenfield on the morning of April 14, 2017.
Brayden was asleep when his mother heard someone forcing their way in through the front door about 6am.
She opened her bedroom door and found a man, allegedly Craig, standing at the top of the stairs, pointing a gun.
The gunman told her to “get back in your room and shut the door”, according to the facts tendered in Campbelltown Local Court.
While she, her partner and their two young children lay on the bedroom floor, the shooter allegedly went into Brayden’s bedroom, found the teen asleep on his stomach facing the bedroom door and shot him in the head.
The facts state the gunman ran from the house, jumped into Massie’s car, which was waiting around the corner, and the white Mazda 3 with personalised numberplates drove off.
Massie, who worked at the Pendle Hill Hotel, then went to great lengths to conceal her role in the murder after police released CCTV images of her car to the media on July 10, 2017.

She hid her car in an underground carpark in Jamisontown and then organised to meet Craig in a Blacktown park. She was under surveillance.
“The whole f…… car, it’s all over the news. It’s breaking news … I can’t sleep … real f…… bad … my numberplate,” Massie told Craig, who allegedly replied: “worse comes to worse, just say it was me”.
