A small motorbike – potentially even a Vespa or another type of scooter – was used as a getaway vehicle in the brazen murder of fruiterer John Latorre in Melbourne’s norrthern suburbs last week.
The hitmen who killed suspected Calabrian mafia figure John Latorre used a motorcycle to stage the execution-style murder and escape from Greenvale’s suburban streets last week.
The CCTV footage so far obtained shows only a single person on the motorcycle, although police suspect there could be more than one person involved in the attack who was not captured on the footage investigators have collected so far. Police have called for members of the public to provide any dashcam footage from the area from between the hours of 2am and 6am.
Sources at the Melbourne Market who are familiar with Latorre’s work routine said he arrived at the Epping markets five or six days a week about 5am following a 30-minute car trip from his Greenvale home.Latorre’s murder comes during a period of supposed upheaval in the Honoured Society amid unconfirmed reports a “new boss” has emerged to lead the Melbourne ’Ndrangheta.
“Until or unless law enforcement acts, there is always going to be ambiguity, precisely because it helps the people on top,” Sergi said.
