Texas biker shootout expected to shed light on Ontario slaughter

An interesting twist to the story

Faced with the choice between a potential death penalty and freedom, some Texas members of the Bandidos biker club charged in last weekend’s deadly shootout can be expected to start talking with investigators, police say. And that could shed fresh light on the role top American bikers may have played in the slaughter of eight Toronto-area bikers in 2006.

Somewhere in that group of jailed bikers are men who know more about the role top American Bandidos played in the systematic murders of the eight Toronto-area Bandidos in 2006 in a southwestern Ontario barn owned by Bandido Wayne (Weiner) Kellestine, Cook said.

Cook noted that one of the convicted Canadian killers, Michael (Taz) Sandham of Winnipeg, rode down to Texas to meet with the top level of the Bandidos weeks before the Shedden killing.

Sandham and Kellestine met with Peter (Mongo) Price, the national sergeant at arms at Peace Arch Park, which straddles B.C. and Washington State, weeks before the murders.

It seems once you're in, you can never leave.

The only man convicted in the eight killings who appears to not be pursuing his appeal is Michael Sandham, who used to be a police officer in Manitoba, and who shot the first of the eight men.

The men killed that night were:

George Jessome, 52.
George Kriarakis, 28.
John Muscedere, 48.
Luis Raposo, 41.
Frank Salerno, 43.
Paul Sinopoli, 30.
Jamie Flanz, 37.
Michael Trotta, 31.

I read yesterday that the cops had arrested something like 70 bikers directly after the Waco shooting.
