Probably the most infamous of the killings in the Melbourne Gangland War. Jason Moran http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jason_Moran and Pat Barbaro were both shot while sitting in the van at a local park watching Moran's children play football. The murder took place at 10.40 on a Saturday morning in front of hundreds of witnesses, including children, two of which were Moran's -- Last edit: 2008-07-03 08:36:46 |

I have the Leadbelly book and one of the photos shows Pat Barbaro's body sitting in the front passenger seat of the van with his blood and matter splattered on the passenger side window, the photo also shows that van that they were killed in was a pale blue Mitsubishi Van. At Carl William's trial, the hitman, Victor "The Runner" Brincat said that Carl offered him $100,000 for the hit, but after the murders, Carl only paid Brincat $2,500. The scene where the Running Man ran up to the van and shoots Jason and Pat was also used in the episode that covered Carl Williams in the crime documentary series, "CI Australia: Families of Crime", and it was in the news this week that Barbaro's cousin also named Pat had been shot and killed by an unknown gunman in Sydney. According to the documentary, "Dead Famous", two weeks before the murders, former Underworld enforcer and author, Mark "Chopper" Read had met Jason Moran and warned him to not to get further involved in the feud with Carl Williams before he could become another victim of the Gangland War. Since the murders occurred in daylight at an Auskick Clinic in the presence of other families, it was seen as a "low point" in the Melbourne Gangland War as the murders had violated Melbourne's Criminal Underworld's "Unwritten Laws" that prohibited violence committed against criminals in the presence of women and children. -- Last edit: 2025-09-03 07:18:07 |
