Accused murderer to remain in prison

THE third alleged bikie accused of the murder of exbikie Shane Ross and his business partner Cameron Martin will remain in prison for the coming weeks.

Garry James Brush asked to be brought into the Southport Magistrates Court on Thursday. He is charged with two counts of murder and one count of unlawful use of a motor vehicle.

Brush wore a green prison jumper and shorts and “fist bumped” his solicitor through the glass wall of the dock.

He also smiled and waved at two of his supporters sitting in the public gallery.

Defence lawyer Ashkan Tai, of Ashkan Tai Lawyers, asked the matter to be adjourned for a brief to be ordered on March 18.

Mr Tai said the matter would be set to be heard alongside Brush’s co-accused Brodie Jeet Singh and Nathan John Miller.

Miller and Singh are also alleged to be members of the Lone Wolf bikie gang.

It is alleged the murders of Mr Ross and Mr Martin were “undertaken and planned” by Singh, Miller and Brush “over a period of time”.

Mr Ross, a former Comanchero bikie gang member, was shot dead near Martin Shiels Park in Tallebudgera in October 2019.

Mr Martin was found dead in his vehicle about 9.30pm on Friday, October 18, 2019. The car had crashed into a tree off Tallebudgera Creek Rd.

Mr Martin had sustained a puncture wound to his chest shortly before the crash.

Three days later, Mr Ross’s body was found in bushland on the corner of the Pacific Highway and Tallebudgera Creek Rd.

Brush was at Mr Ross’s funeral, where he sat among friends of the bikie turned Monstr clothing businessman, the Bulletin has previously revealed.

He was also at the funeral of Mr Ross’s mother five weeks earlier.

Brush was extradited from Grafton in NSW to Queensland on Wednesday when detectives charged with him murder.
