Haissam Safetli pleads guilty to Michael McGurk murder ONE of the men charged over the 2009 shooting of Sydney businessman Michael McGurk has pleaded guilty to his murder. Haissam Safetli is now set to give evidence against property developer Ron Medich in his upcoming committal hearing,http://www.squadronblues13s.biz/, a court has heard. Magistrate Jan Stevenson insisted Safetli be brought up from the cells to face Central Local Court today after his solicitor Dennis Miralis entered guilty pleas on his behalf to one count of murder and one count of stalk and intimidate. Mr Miralis said his client "doesn't wish to appear before the court". "He is not feeling well ... He disclosed that in the cells,http://www.playoffs12s.biz/," Mr Miralis said. But Ms Stevenson said: "I want him up here Mr Miralis.
I would like him in court." After being brought up to the dock, Safetli,http://www.bugsbunnys8s.biz/, who was dressed in prison greens,http://www.jordangrapes5s.biz/, remained silent as the pleas were confirmed on his behalf. Safetli has pleaded guilty to murdering Mr McGurk who was killed by a single shot to the head outside his Cremorne home on Sydney's lower north shore in September 2009. He has also pleaded guilty to intimidating Mr McGurk's wife Kimberley McGurk less than a year later in August 2010. The Director of Public Prosecutions has dropped a charge of soliciting Mr McGurk's murder. Mr Miralis said his client would now be giving evidence against his co-accused Ron Medich and Christopher Estephan in their committal hearing next month,http://www.phoenixsun8s.biz/, which will determine whether they should stand trial.
It comes more than a month after one-time featherweight boxing champion Lucky Gattellari was sentenced to a minimum of seven and a half years for being an accessory before the fact of the murder of Mr McGurk. The crown alleges Medich enlisted Gattellari to carry out the contract killing of his former business associate. Gattellari then allegedly recruited Senad Kaminic, Safetli and Estephan to help. On the day of Mr McGurk's murder it is alleged Estephan and Safetli went to his home and shot him behind the right ear at close range. Speaking outside court, Mr Miralis told reporters that as a result of ongoing negotiations between the DPP and his client, Safetli had accepted "full responsibility for his involvement in the offence".
"This has been an extremely stressful time for him, as well as his family. It's clearly the most serious charge you can plead guilty to and understandably it has had an impact on him." Safetli will be formally arraigned in the Supreme Court on Friday.
