Welcome to the Afternoon Update. A well-known organised crime figure – known as the “angel of death” – was gunned down in an “execution-style murder” in Sydney overnight in what police believe is the first organised crime-related murder in the city in six months.
Tarek Ayoub, 29, who police said was connected to several organised crime networks, was gunned down outside an apartment building on Harold Street in Parramatta in a “hail of bullets” about 3.30am on Monday.
