Two Charged Over May Killing of Sydney Plumber John Versace

Police say the 23-year-old was likely mistaken for a target in a feud linked to a split within the Alameddine crime network.

Overview

  • Taskforce Falcon detectives arrested a 43-year-old at Casula and a 19-year-old at Bankstown on Wednesday morning.
  • Both men were charged with murder and refused police bail to appear in court the same day.
  • Versace was ambushed in the driveway of his family home in Condell Park on May 19 and died at the scene.
  • Investigators report Versace was not known to police and had no association with the Alameddine group.
  • Police continue to examine links between the killing and a broader gangland conflict following an internal Alameddine split.
