Another three men have been charged with the murder a 45-year-old woman in Sydney's south west earlier this year. Thi Kim Tran was taken from her Bankstown home at gunpoint in April and her remains were found in a burnt-out car. A 29-year-old man remains before the courts charged with murder and now another three men have also been charged, including a 30-year-old, a 22-year-old and a 21-year-old.
00:00Police said they've charged three men. Each of them are facing five charges, including murder.
00:07Police say they are well known to them. They say it was related to an incident that happened late at night on April the 17th.
00:13Police say the men forced entry into a home in Bankstown in Sydney's southwest.
00:18They say they were armed, or at least two of them were, one with a baseball bat, the other with a firearm.
00:23An eight-year-old boy suffered head injuries. This is what Homicide Squad Commander Joe Dewey had to say.
00:28Remarkably, the eight-year-old child has made a really good recovery. Initial reports were that he was going to have lifetime injuries,
00:35but remarkably, he's recovered really well. Psychologically, I think that's probably still ongoing there, and how they're being treated and how they're going there.
00:43Following the alleged assault, police say T Kim Tran, a 45-year-old woman, was forced into a car.
00:49About an hour later, a car was found on fire in nearby Beverly Hills. The car was destroyed, and inside were the remains of Miss Tran.
00:57Police say the target was Miss Tran's husband. They say he allegedly stole 80 kilograms of drugs from a crime network in Victoria.
01:06They say that while she was held, they were sending text messages to her husband in an attempt to lure him out.
01:13Let's take a listen to what Homicide Squad Commander Joe Dewey had to say.
01:18What we know is that the syndicate or the group were attempting to communicate with the husband to lure him out to murder him and attempt to recover their stolen or alleged missing drugs.
01:32When that failed, they had always planned to attend that victim's residence.
01:38We will allege that, regardless of what happened, it was their intention to attend that address, kidnap the victim and murder her.
01:48Among the text messages that were sent were included a photo, police say, of Miss Tran to her husband.
01:54They say since the incident, they have made contact with her husband.
01:58They say since the incident, they have made contact with her husband.
02:00I'll see you again!
02:02So or even the comment on the story theef's name.
02:05He can't do that in their own story.
02:06But also, this recording, it says,
02:07I knew how her husband did not do whatever she was doing as a victim.
02:08Um, he said, FaZe, è GuianULAX!
