Six males, including four teenagers, have been charged over the alleged kidnapping and murder of Patrick Longordo, the son of a former Mongols bikie gang president. The 30-year-old was dragged from his home in South Morang, northeast of Melbourne, in the early hours of May 15. His body was later found at a park in Tarneit, about 40 kilometers away.
Police allege the group was armed with machetes when they broke into the South Morang house. The car used in the kidnapping was found burnt out later that day. The charges include murder, kidnapping, aggravated home invasion, and criminal damage by fire.
The four 17-year-old males and a 23-year-old man from Truganina have been charged with murder, kidnapping, aggravated home invasion, and criminal damage by fire. An 18-year-old from Point Cook has been charged with assist offender and criminal damage by fire. The two adults were denied bail, and all six are scheduled to appear in court on Thursday.
Police continue to appeal for anyone with footage or information about the incidents in South Morang or Tarneit to come forward. The arrests followed a series of raids across Melbourne on Wednesday morning.
