$10 NOTE AND TWO SHOTS IN GANGSTER FIGHT

-

BIKIE Mark James Graham was sentenced to 12 years and three months jail for shooting Kathy Devitt during a stand-off with a gang rival at the packed Robina Town Centre. During his sentencing in November 2014, a headshaven Graham – a Fink MC member before patching over to the Mongols – had the words “carnage”, “revenge” and the bikie tag “1%” tattooed on his face. On the day of the shooting, Graham, celebratin­g his daughter’s birthday, is captured pacing through the busy shopping centre. Something catches his attention and he goes back to look into a shop. He walks off, then stops, reaches into his trouser pocket, handles an object and then appears to put it back. Graham walks back to the shop, goes inside, out of view of the camera, before emerging again at 1.45pm. He is followed out of the store by ex-Bandido Jacques Teamo. Teamo appears to yell out to Graham. CCTV showed the two men facing off before being interrupte­d by a Good Samaritan who handed Graham a $10 note that he inadverten­tly dropped, probably while he pulled a gun from his bum bag. Graham then opened fire, sending Mr Teamo and shoppers running for cover. The first shot hit Mr Teamo in the arm. The second hit Ms Devitt in the hip. Graham was arrested by police in Melbourne two days later. EDITORIAL P20
