Sam 'The Punisher' Abdulrahim, a notorious figure in Melbourne's organized crime scene, was executed outside a Preston serviced apartment. Abdulrahim had survived numerous attacks over the years, earning him a reputation for cunning and resilience. The investigation is focusing on Kazem 'Kaz' Hamad, a powerful gangland kingpin, as the prime suspect.
At 32 years old, the man known as “Suna” to his few remaining friends and allies was dangerously exposed after a lifetime of double-crossing many of the most powerful underworld players in Melbourne ’s organised crime scene.The underworld figure-turned-boxer was hated by his one-time bikie club, the Mongols, and senior-ranked commanders of the Comanchero, as well as a slew of rivals in the Middle Eastern organised crime scene.
But while the investigation is just starting into Abdulrahim’s execution outside a Preston serviced apartment on Tuesday, the focus will almost certainly be on the most long-standing and relentless of his enemies – new gangland kingpin Kazem “Kaz” Hamad. Regardless of the reason, Abdulrahim was believed by Hamad’s crew to have been behind a drive-by shooting of Al Hamza’s family home.But it was on September 26, 2016, that Abdulrahim committed the act that made him an enemy for life, one that prompted Hamad and Al Hamza to launch a blitz of revenge attacks over the past two years after they emerged as major underworld players.
Abdulrahim then began a relationship with Ors’ widow, a move that incensed the Hamad crew when the full scale of his alleged betrayal became known. Hamad allegedly put a $1 million bounty on Abdulrahim and sent teams of arsonists and gunmen to make his life unliveable.
