Police placed early blame for the execution on members of Melbourne's underworld, but said they were still searching for a motive. Luca Virgona described his father as an honest and dedicated man, whose death has left the family distraught. "This speculation is not based on any facts and feeds rumours and innuendo, which is hurtful to us as a family."Mr Virgona was killed while driving towards the city on the EastLink on Saturday November 9 last year.
Detectives said he had been followed from his home by a Mercedes-Benz C200 sedan with the registration plate AZE-110.
