Three Comanchero bikies jailed for life over ‘outrageous, chilling murder'
Three Comanchero bikies have been jailed for life over the 'brutally violent and chilling' murder of a father-of-four they had stalked and shot dead just metres from his home. Mitat Rasimi, 51, was found unresponsive inside his car with multiple gunshot wounds after crashing into a pole in Dandenong in 2019. Rasimi was ambushed over a dispute involving an unpaid debt worth hundreds of thousands of dollars as he drove along Dawn Ave in Dandenong at 9.38pm on March 3. At least six shots were fired out the window of a stolen orange Ford Ranger ute, with four bullets hitting Rasimi in the torso. On Tuesday morning, Supreme Court Justice Andrew Tinney sentenced Richard Ene, Laiseni Kakato and a third man, who cannot be named for legal reasons as he is facing other criminal proceedings, to the maximum penalty of life in prison. Rasimi had previously been linked as an old associate of former drug kingpin Tony Mokbel, but Tinney said Rasimi had no links to the outlaw bikie gang. He said the trio were a 'group of heartless and cowardly men' who had plotted and killed an 'entirely undeserving and innocent victim'. The court heard that while Ene drove the getaway car, Kakato pulled the trigger of a .22-calibre handgun to kill Rasimi.
