A CRIMINAL gunned down in his car in a gangland execution was almost certainly murdered for revenge.

William "Willy" Thompson was implicated in the murder of Nik "The Russian" Radev, a brutal standover man and convicted drug dealer.

Thompson was also linked to murdered drug baron Jason Moran, who was shot last month in front of his children as part of Melbourne's underworld war.

Thompson was killed in a hail of gunfire as his sat in his car on a busy road near neighborhood shops.

It was the 17th underworld murder in the past five years. All remain unsolved.

A witness told the Herald Sun Thompson had just got into his car on Waverley Rd in Chadstone about 9.30pm on Monday when he was ambushed.

Thompson's car was hemmed in by a late-model Ford Falcon at the front and a van or four-wheel-drive to the right side.

A man got out of the Falcon and shot Thompson as he sat behind the wheel of his $80,000 Honda S2000 convertible.

The attackers fled and one of the cars was later found burnt out in Port Melbourne, where Thompson lived.

Thompson, aged in his 40s, had a short list of drug-related convictions.

The former martial arts competitor and nightclub bouncer recently turned to acting.

He featured in the low-budget film Nightclubber, which premiered at the recent Melbourne Underground Film Festival.

The movie is a violent depiction of Melbourne's club world, involving gun play and sex scenes.

Thompson's murder shares several chilling similarities with 16 other underworld slayings across Melbourne in the last five years.

Many have been connected to the cut-throat amphetamines market.

And many of the victims had been suspected of killing others.

Thompson was killed only hours before Jason Moran's father – alleged crime patriarch Lewis Moran who is facing serious drug charges – walked from jail on bail yesterday.

Det-Insp Graeme Collins, of the homicide squad, said it appeared that the gunman had been waiting in a car outside a nearby Red Rooster restaurant.

"It looks like it's been planned," he said.

It is understood Thompson's death is being investigated by the homicide squad rather than the Purana taskforce which is tackling several underworld murder cases.

Thompson's jiu-jitsu coach, John Donehue, said he and Thompson had walked out of a martial arts club together moments before the shooting.

Mr Donehue said Mr Thompson had been training under him for a year.

"He was a valued student, so dedicated that even if he was injured he'd come to classes," he said.

"He was a gentleman to all of us. I never expected anything like this."

Mr Donehue said his students went to the club last night to pay their respects and were planning a memorial service.

"He got on really well with everybody. He was just a really friendly guy," he said.

"It's a big shock. It's beyond shock. It's just heartbreaking for us."

Witness Michael Loeding, 32, said he was in his driveway about 20m away with his wife and friends when the shots rang out.

"Initially I heard two distinct shots and then another couple maybe 10 seconds later," Mr Loeding said. "When we realised what had happened . . . it was very eerie.

"We didn't know where the gunman was or what was happening.

"There was one guy hiding behind a car, people scurrying away."

After realising the danger, Mr Loeding said he and his friends retreated inside the house, but came outside when they heard the police helicopter.

"We saw the deceased man slumped in the car," he said. "I felt shocked and sick."

Toy shop owner Mauri Wolko said he arrived at his shop moments after the shots were fired.

Mr Wolko said he found a stray bullet had blasted through the window of his store, and was embedded in a children's poster that said, "How do You Feel Today?".

"Naturally I was very shocked," he said. "It's not the sort of thing you expect to happen in suburban Melbourne."

Det-Insp Collins described talk of links to other underworld slayings was "speculation", but confirmed checks would be made for connections.

Despite his limited convictions, Thompson was in underworld circles and had been named over the shooting murder of career criminal Radev.

Criminal information suggested Thompson may have had a "peripheral" involvement in the murder of Radev, gunned down in Coburg in April.

Thompson was believed to have struck up a strong criminal bond with Jason Moran – an amphetamines boss shot dead in a family van last month in front of his children at an Essendon football clinic.

Anyone with information is asked to call Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.

Bad stuff in Glen Iris!!!!? Holy Shite, I live within spitting distance of Glen Iris.

I see Police choppers overhead all the time now. Thats all pretty worrying.

Maybe some sort of vigilante organisation is in order.

I think I'll form an citizens action group. Whose with me?

All I need to know is if you can swing a sack of doorknobs.

predator · July 23, 2003

Alright man, I'll do all the hard work then.

If they have guns, I'll just have to get a bigger sack with more doorknobs.

You people who live in 'upper class' areas freak as soon as something happens....

those of us who live in slummy areas (through no choice of our own) have to deal with this type of crap every day.

In fact, so much of it goes on, that it doesn't even make it into the press anymore.

If you want to be paranoid, then buy a scanner, and listen to what's REALLY going on around you.

You'd be suprised.....
