Ahmad Doudar loses appeal over Mick Hawi murder

A man who helped tow and hide a getaway car used in the execution of bikie boss Mick Hawi has lost his appeal.

A diabetic father who covered for the crew that shot bikie boss Mick Hawi in a “horrifying, brazen, dangerous and violent public execution” has lost an appeal for early release.

Ahmad Doudar pleaded guilty and was sentenced to four and a half years in prison for accessory to Hawi‘s underworld murder in February 2018.

Hawi, an ousted Comanchero boss, had just walked out of Fitness First Rockdale when a masked assassin approached his black Mercedes and shot him in the face multiple times.

The gunman and getaway driver fled the scene to nearby Bexley where they torched the car.

The men then jumped into a second getaway car, a silver Toyota Aurion, that had been stashed there earlier and drove to a nearby home where they parked in a garage.

Doudar was part of a crew that towed the silver Toyota from the garage two days later — he was in the company of two other men including Yusuf Nazlioglu, documents before the NSW Court of Criminal Appeal say.

Nazlioglu would be found not guilty of murder when a jury decided he was not the gunman.

“In loading the vehicle onto the tow truck, Doudar intended to assist in disposing of the vehicle in order to assist Nazlioglu to evade detection for his (alleged) involvement in the killing of (Hawi),” court documents claim.

Detectives would later find the silver Toyota with a black balaclava covered in gunshot residue at the foot of the passenger seat.

The 37-year-old Doudar, a convicted drug smuggler, appealed his sentence saying he was not “aware of the connection between the vehicle and the murder before his involvement in loading the vehicle onto the tow truck”.

The judge who sentenced Doudar concluded he was well aware “his criminal associates” had carried out the execution that was dominating the news when he went to tow the Toyota.

The appeal judges found the disposal of the car was as deliberate and planned as the murder itself.

Doudar‘s lawyers also appealed against the judge’s finding he had an “arrogant and immoral belief that (the killers) had an entitlement to extinguish the life of another person.”

The court of appeal disagreed - Doudar had aligned himself with people happy to carry out the cold blooded killing.

Doudar‘s final attempt at appeal was rooted in his diabetes - he’d been diagnosed and hospitalised with the condition since entering custody and argued prison was not the place for him as a result.

But the court, again, shut him down finding he‘d been cared for behind bars.

The three justices dismissed Doudar‘s appeal on Thursday. He will be first eligible for parole in early 2024.
