Australia - A COURT has heard how a member of the Rebels outlaw motorcycle gang, wearing full colours, walked into a pub and in a loud voice allegedly intimidated a woman who had spoken with detectives over the murder of a man at Mumbil, near Wellington.
Michael John Gillard, 49, allegedly parked his Harley-Davidson motorcycle outside the Mumbil Tavern about 1:30pm on Christmas Eve and bought a beer before approaching the woman, with whom he had a previous relationship.
Gillard was arrested by Strike Force Burrendong detectives investigating the execution-style killing of Charles Avouris, 30, after raids at homes in Mumbil and Stuart Town, south of Mumbil, on December 30.
Avouris was shot in the head with a small-calibre firearm at his Mumbil home Railway Cottage on or about Monday, July 1, 1996.
Detectives have said they are investigating his known links to local Rebels before he was murdered.
