The Gangland Killing of Lewis Moran shown to grieving widow



On Monday the court was shown security video of two gunmen storming into the Brunswick Club in Melbourne and chasing Moran as he tried to escape past a row of poker machines.Moran is seen cowering as one of two gunmen corners him, shooting him with a pistol and then firing a second shot as he slumps to the ground.
"Mr Moran was a sitting duck," prosecutor Andrew Tinney.Mr Tinney said that underworld figures Carl Williams and Tony Mokbel wanted Moran dead, placing a $150,000 contract on his head."It is a world of gangland intrigue and violence.
"In Victoria at that time there were men around who were willing to do the bidding of the likes of Carl Williams... for money... or simply because they were asked to by a powerful individual."Evangelos Goussis has pleaded not guilty to Moran's murder and to the attempted murder of Herbert Wrout, who was shot during the attack but survived.Mr Tinnney said a career criminal, who drove the getaway car, would be a central witness to the trial but could not be named for legal reasons.
But Defence barrister Stephen Shirrefs, SC, said the star witness had confessed to killing Lewis Moran before changing his story to accuse Goussis.It is accepted that the unnamed witness shot Herbert Wrout.
