Police investigate the meticulous techniques used to cover Mejid Hamzy murder

Detectives investigating the murder of Sydney gangster Mejid Hamzy believe all the co-conspirators were kept in the dark to avoid their identities being disclosed.

The plan to murder Western Sydney gangster Mejid Hamzy carries an eerie coincidence to the plot of the Quentin Tarantino film Reservoir Dogs.

Police are investigating whether the men allegedly involved in the shooting were deliberately kept in the dark as to the identities of their alleged co-conspirators.

That mirrors the 1992 film, which features a gang of eight jewel thieves who are only known by aliases such as Mr White and Mr Orange.

Detectives will allege a similar method was allegedly employed by the group of people accused of assassinating Hamzy outside his Condell Park home in October 2020.

Police allege two men, Bryce Williams, 34, and Christopher O’Brien, 31, were the gunmen who shot Hamzy.

Mejid Hamzy’s murder was meticulously planned. .

A third man, Ezzeddine Omar, 39, has also been charged with murder but is not accused of being a triggerman. Omar is alleged to have provided a fixer-type role that included providing stolen cars to use in the murder and then hiding them afterwards.

Obviously anyone subsequently arrested cannot identify other alleged members of the group if they never knew their identities to begin with.

It was believed Mark Buddle (pictured) and Mejid Hamzy were engaged in an ongoing conflict before Hamzy was murdered. Police believe Buddle ordered the hit.

Police will allege that O’Brien and Williams knew each other. But they believe their identities were not disclosed to the alleged getaway driver or drivers and other alleged members of the conspiracy, and vice versa.

Police will also allege this extends to the guns used in the murder being delivered on the day of the shooting by people who were not known to the ­alleged gunmen.

Hamzy – the younger brother of jailed crime boss Bassam Hamzy – was shot four times outside his home in an alleged revenge hit for stealing 400kg of drugs that belonged to bikie boss Mark Buddle.

Detectives have also been informed other meticulous techniques were potentially used in an attempt to stifle the police inquiry.

Police will allege that the ammunition was wiped down before being put in each of the guns. “It’s a simple method to avoid fingerprints being found on spent bullet casings at the scene,” one source said.

In other investigations, police have had success in linking the spent cartridge to the gun that fired it. This can be done by a number of methods, including matching the hammer of the gun to the imprint left on the bullet casing.

But in this case, the guns that killed Hamzy have not been recovered.

Instead, they are believed to have been melted down.
