A jury is being told about statements made by an alleged underworld assassin in relation to the killing of Sydney crime figure Bilal Hamze. Multiple outlets report that Hamze was shot dead in Sydney’s central business district after dining with a sex worker. In court, prosecutors say the accused boasted about killing a gang boss, with the testimony presented as evidence supporting the prosecution’s case.
The articles describe the incident as a targeted shooting involving a well-known figure in Sydney’s criminal underworld. They also note the alleged offender’s comments to others, which the jury is said to be considering as part of the broader circumstances surrounding the murder.
While the reports focus on the same core allegations—Hamze’s death, the CBD shooting after a dinner, and the alleged boasting by the accused—the details beyond these points are not expanded in the provided excerpts. The matter remains before the jury, with the court hearing evidence related to who was responsible for Hamze’s death.
