CBD killer and Hells Angel bikie Christopher Wayne Hudson has paid tribute to slain crime figure Macchour Chaouk.

In a death notice published in the Herald Sun, Hudson and his parents Terry and Anne say Chaouk will be "always remembered".

Chris Hudson's name is followed by the words Hells Angels MC.

He is serving a minimum 35-year prison term over a city shooting rampage in which solicitor Brendan Keilar died and Dutch backpacker Paul De Waard and Melbourne woman Kaera Douglas were badly wounded.

Chaouk, 65, was shot dead on Friday in the backyard of his family's property at Brooklyn in Melbourne's western suburbs.

Suspect Ahmed Haddara, whose son Mohammed was shot dead at Altona North in June last year, was arrested eight hours after the killing but later released.

A cousin of the Chaouks, 22-year-old Ahmed Hablas, has been charged with Mohammed Haddara's death.

A death notice was also lodged by Chaouk's sons Ali and Matwali, who are in prison on remand after being charged with serious offences.

They wrote their father was "one of a kind" and would always be in their hearts.

Neither of the sons will be at the funeral.

"No application has been received by any family members to go to the funeral," a Corrections Victoria spokeswoman said.

The spokeswoman said CV would not discuss any measures designed to protect Ali or Matwali Chaouk since their father's death.

"We do not discuss individual prisoner movements," she said. "However, we have made arrangements accordingly to ensure security."

A Chaouk family spokesman said no wake would be held on Monday.

"There is going to be no wake. We won't start grieving until the right thing happens. We won't have a wake until other right people are buried. You understand."

Macchour Chaouk will be buried at Fawkner Cemetery, alongside son Mohamed who died when shot by police in a 2005 raid.

Homicide squad detectives met up to 100 members of the Chaouk family at the Geelong Rd property where Friday's murder happened.

Det Sen-Sgt Ron Iddles said he could not comment on the investigation but the meeting had been productive.

"The purpose was to appraise them of the current status of the investigation and address any concerns they may have," he said.
