HE helped facilitate the supply of what turned out to be a fake gun, the scam allegedly leading to the murder of his mate, Anthony Nugent, only 24 hours later.

But a bit over a month after he was involved in setting up the deal that police allege had fatal consequences, a Newcastle man supplied another pistol to one of the men accused of killing the well-known Hamilton South petty crook.
