A former detective says Sydney's underworld has no unwritten laws about not harming females and the double murder of two women in Revesby sends a clear message.
A former NSW Police detective says the public shooting of two Sydney women is not unusual in the city's "dirty" underworld, which he says has no rules.He says a number of women have previously fallen victim to Sydney's gang warLametta Fadlallah, 48, and Amy Hazouri, 39, were killed when their car was peppered with bullets in Revesby, in Sydney's south-west, about 9pm on Saturday.
The killings have been described by police as a new low in Sydney's gangland wars, given what they called an "unwritten law" about not harming women. "They don't have a legislator that sets out policies and laws, it's an unregulated industry, and it's a dirty industry." Some have been targeted because they got too involved in criminal networks, others because they were police informants.The mother of two was previously married to Kings Cross drug supplier and standover man Helal Safi.
