Laiseni Kakato and Richard Ene to stand trial over murder charge

Two bikies are accused of shooting a father of four linked to drug kingpin Tony Mokbel before leaving him to bleed to death in his car.

Two Comancheros bikies accused of gunning down a former associate of drug kingpin Tony Mokbel will stand trial in the Supreme Court next year.

Laiseni Kakato and Richard Ene, 26 are facing allegations they murdered 51-year-old Mitat Rasimi.

Mr Rasimi was found dead inside his car in Dandenong in 2019.

The court was earlier told the pair allegedly gunned down Mr Rasimi, a father-of-four, because of a debt owed to the Comanchero bikie gang.

Mitat Rasimi was allegedly gunned down while in his car.

Mr Kakato and Mr Ene’s matter was briefly heard in the Supreme Court on Wednesday where Judicial Registrar Freeman set a trial date for February 13 next year.

The accused were arrested several months after the deadly shooting.

Both were charged with Mr Rasimi’s murder.
