Overview
- Justice Joseph McGrath found Pye guilty of Martin’s 2020 murder in a judge-alone trial conducted under heavy court security.
- Pye was also convicted of trying to arrange the killings of his ex-girlfriend and rival bikie Raymond Cilla, including a plan in Thailand.
- The shooter testified he was recruited by Pye for $150,000, received $100,000 in cash after the hit, and later messages included coffin and clapping emojis.
- Martin was killed by a single shot fired from more than 300 metres at the Kwinana Motorplex, with the bullet injuring a bystander.
- Sentencing has not been set and the judge’s full written reasons are pending, as police point to Taskforce Revello’s large-scale investigation.
