'People out there know': Parents of suspected bikie victim make emotional plea
The parents of slain Adelaide man Jason De Ieso — who police believe was innocently caught up in a dispute between bikies — have made an emotional plea urging anyone with information about his killers to come forward.
Key points:
- Panel beater Jason De Ieso, 33, was shot dead at his business in 2012
- Police have arrested and charged six people but believe others were involved
- His parents have recorded a video urging anyone with information to come forward
Mr De Ieso, 33, was shot dead at his panel beating business on Langford Street at Pooraka in Adelaide's northern suburbs in November 2012.
On Friday, police declared a major breakthrough, announcing they had arrested and charged six people over the alleged murder, after establishing a secret taskforce to investigate the case.
CCTV footage from Mr De Ieso's workshop, previously released by investigators, shows nine men walking towards the front of the business the day Mr De Ieso was shot, with at least six of them carrying guns.
In a further plea for information, police have today released a video of his mother and father — Giovanna and Sam De Ieso — as well as his brother Dino describing their ongoing pain.
"It's always with us, it never goes away, and I don't know why we have to go through this," Ms De Ieso said, fighting back tears.
"He didn't do anything. He was doing his work.
"There are people out there who know.
"Own up, come forward because Jason didn't deserve to be killed. He went to work and we'd like you to come forward."
Mr De Ieso's brother Dino described the alleged murder of his brother as a "cowardly act", saying his brother had been deprived of the opportunity to meet his son.
"Jason missed out on that, he missed out on crucial things in life," Mr De Ieso said.
"We know that people know who they are, so we'd like someone to come forward.
"They don't deserve to be enjoying sunlight, they deserve to be put away."
Ms De Ieso said his brother's death was "a cowardly and brutal act that no family should have to go through".
"In broad daylight. In a person's workplace, of all places," he said.
Bikies had 'the wrong person', police believe
On Friday, police said they had charged five men with murder — including three brothers who were arrested at their homes in Goodwood, Mile End and St Morris.
They are expected to appear in the Adelaide Magistrates Court on Monday.
A woman was arrested on Queensland's Gold Coast and has been charged with assisting an offender.
But police have said they are hoping to arrest another two men over the murder.
Police said nine male members of the Hells Angels North Crew walked into Mr De Ieso's Unique Custom Paint and Panel business on November 21, 2012, and shot him dead.
On Friday, Detective Superintendent Des Bray said there was no evidence Mr De Ieso had any connection with "criminality or gang life".
He said Mr De Ieso's "only mistake" was maintaining a childhood friendship with a man who went on to become a Finks bikie.
He said the motive for the murder appeared to be "ongoing gang conflict" between the Hells Angels and the Finks.
A Molotov cocktail had been thrown at a property in Parafield Gardens connected with the Hells Angels the night before Mr De Ieso's alleged murder, he said.
Superintendent Bray said the person the Hells Angels suspected of the attack was not involved.
"Not only did they have the wrong person, they then killed an innocent person because of stupid gang violence," he said.
'It's on your mind every day'
In the video, Mr De Ieso's parents described their son as a young man who loved soccer and fishing.
"Jason liked a lot of athletics. He would always be involved with the school, [with] running," Ms De Ieso said.
"He played soccer until he was 18 then he started going out with the girls and that was the end of sports.
"They were easy-going kids. I never had a problem, I never had the police at my door."
Mr De Ieso's father Sam recalled the time Jason, then a teenager, told him he wanted to become a panel beater.
"I got upset because I said 'finish school, don't worry about the cars'," he said.
His family said Jason had begun an apprenticeship in panel beating and had established his own business.
"He would always help out, he would never say no," his mother said.
"I've got letters from people when he passed [saying] that he was a very easy-going, very friendly, well-spoken boy.
"We would like that to get closure because it's on your mind every day."
