An attempted hitman accidentally caught himself on fire while trying to burn his escape vehicle after a failed underworld hit in Sydney's western region. The authorities have released surveillance footage in hopes of identifying the two individuals involved in the shooting on Chisholm Road in Auburn yesterday, which was targeted at 19-year-old Khoder Hamdan.
The footage captures two men starting a fire on Haughton Street in Carramar before fleeing the scene. As they make their escape, one of the men's foot catches on fire, causing his pants to fall down. After quickly regaining his composure, the pair run through a nearby park in an attempt to flee from the burning car.
According to the police, the man who caught on fire likely suffered severe burns to his leg. The two suspects were last seen running towards Heiden Park and Prospect Creek, both dressed in all black. The burning vehicle was discovered at 3:20 pm on the day of the shooting, which left three people injured.
In addition to Khoder Hamdan, who was unharmed while sitting in his car, two other individuals were targeted by the group of men. Shots were fired at them while they were standing outside their home, resulting in damage to the house. The police believe that the getaway car was used after the shooting and are urging anyone with relevant dashcam or CCTV footage to come forward and assist in the investigation. If anyone has seen the suspects running towards Heiden Park and Prospect Creek, they are urged to contact Crime Stoppers.
