Police are bracing for retaliation attacks over the unprecedented execution style shooting of two women in south-west Sydney. It is believed Lametta Fadlallah, a 48-year-old mother of two, had links to organised crime. biancabalzer 9News MORE:
The women, identified as 48-year-old mother Lametta Fadlallah and 39-year-old Amy Al-Hazzouri, died after their car was sprayed with bullets near a home on Hendy Avenue, Panania about 10pm on Saturday night.
"It's not acceptable by any standards. It's unprecedented, really and we're determined to get the answers for the family. She had been in a relationship with one of the founding members of a street gang and later in life was also in a relationship with a notorious Kings Cross standover man, who is now also dead.Police said Fadlallah was sitting in the back seat of a car outside her Hendy Avenue home when there was a knock on the window from the barrel of a gun and an attacker suddenly opened fire.
Sources told 9News Al-Hazzouri and her young friends were only there to style the older woman's hair before a night out."It's not acceptable by any standards, it's unprecedented really," Doherty said. Doherty refuted any speculation that the incident could be linked to recent gangland shootings in Sydney, saying police would "treat this on its own merit."What investigators say could be a network of attackers, left a calling card.
