Wild CCTV of alleged prison attack on Bassam Hamzy
Extraordinary footage of the moment gang boss Bassam Hamzy was allegedly stabbed and beaten in a frenzied prison attack has emerged. The alleged attack on Hamzy, 46, unfolded on February 17, 2024 in a yard at Goulburn's Supermax jail, which holds NSW's most high-risk inmates. Police in December charged two men over the incident – Lofu Namulauulu and another dubbed AA – and allege it was orchestrated via the Triple J Unearthed app. In the footage, which has been shared online, a handcuffed Hamzy can be seen walking into frame while Mr Namulauulu approaches prison staff to have his cuffs unlocked through a barred door. He appears to pat Hamzy on the back as the two trade places, with the Brothers 4 Life founder putting his arms through the bars. Hamzy's back is turned when Mr Namulauulu allegedly pulls a shiv out of his pants and attacks. Mr Namulauulu allegedly stabbed Hamzy several times to his upper body before unleashing a flurry of punches while his target still had an arm stuck through the bars. Hamzy then appeared to fight back, kicking out at his alleged attacker before squaring up when his right arm was finally released. Both men allegedly appeared in the footage to trade punches before Hamzy was struck and fell to the ground. Mr Namulauulu allegedly could be seen punching and kicking a prone Hamzy several times before Correctives staff finally rushed into the yard. NSW Police allege the attack was ordered by AA who allegedly used 'an FM Radio website chat function to communicate his instructions'. AA was charged with recruit other to assist in carrying out criminal activity, knowingly/recklessly direct criminal group assist crime, assault occasioning actual bodily harm and affray. Police allege that Mr Namulauulu, 28, carried out the attack for money. He was charged with using offensive weapon with intent to commit indictable offence, participate criminal group contribute activity, assault occasioning actual bodily harm and affray. Neither men have entered pleas to their charges ahead of their next court appearances in September. A Corrective Services NSW spokesperson said staff intervened during an alleged assault between two inmates on February 17 last year. 'One inmate suffered injuries to his head area and was assessed by medical staff,' they said. 'The inmate did not require hospitalisation and refused medical treatment by on-site staff.' Hamzy has become one of NSW's most notorious prisoners and has been locked up inside various jails since the turn of the millennium. He was convicted for the 1998 shooting murder of a teenage nightclub patron in Kings Cross and sentenced to 21 years. While behind bars Hamzy founded the Brothers 4 Life gang, which emerged as a major player in Sydney's underworld, and directed operations from behind bars. The 46-year-old has since been convicted for running drug supply rings from prison – he was most recently found guilty in 2024 of directing a meth syndicate from Supermax via calls to his former lawyer. Hamzy has also launched several lawsuits against the State of NSW, including over conditions inside Supermax, and last year filed a claim alleging police failed to stop the assassination of his older brother Mejid in 2020. He will not be eligible for parole until 2038.
