Mr De Britt, the central west Bandidos chapter president was gunned down inside his home on a rural property at Eurimbla, 50 kilometres south of Wellington in central NSW on January 14.

Police said the 60-year-old was shot in the head and Strike Force Kerrison was formed to investigate what happened.

Detectives have since charged seven men — aged 58, 39, 39, 38, 37, 32 and 22 — along with a 34-year-old woman for their alleged roles in Mr De Britt’s murder.
