Three suspected underworld criminals are being sought and two men have been arrested in “one of the worst organized crime murders” police have seen in Australia.
Police today arrested two men over their deaths following raids at addresses in Austral and Riverstone.
A 28-year-old man was taken to Liverpool Police Station.
Police said he was expected to be charged with two counts of murder and his involvement in a criminal group.
A 29-year-old man has been transferred from prison to Goulburn Police Station.
Police said he is also expected to be charged with two counts of murder and his involvement in a criminal group.
At the same time, police also secured arrest warrants for three men believed to be abroad; Rafat Alameddin, 30, John Ray Baysari, 33, and Zaid Abdelhafez, 24.
The trio is wanted for two murders.
“The callous murders of father and son, Toufiq and Salim Hamzeh, were one of the worst organized crime murders we have seen in Australia, in which an innocent man was drawn into the violence and depravity,” said Michael, the state’s assistant commissioner of crime boss Fitzgerald said.
“These three men are now officially wanted on murder charges, we are appealing to them today to come home and face the consequences.
“And as they no doubt know, the arm of the law is far – and there are no safe havens to hide in.”
Alameddin is described as being of Mediterranean or Middle Eastern appearance, around 180cm tall with a solid build and dark brown hair, beard and moustache.
Baisari is described as being of Mediterranean or Middle Eastern appearance, around 170cm tall with a solid build and dark brown hair, beard and moustache.
Abdelhafez is described as being of Mediterranean or Middle Eastern appearance, around 175cm tall, with a slim build and black hair.
Inquiries are ongoing, but Detective Constable Danny Doherty said officers are close to solving the alleged double murder.
Anyone with information is urged to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.
