Nick Martin, 51, (right with wife), was shot and killed at a drag race at Kwinana Motorplex south of Perth on December 12, 2020, from 300 meters away, as he sat with his wife and stepdaughter. David James Pye (left), a former rebel turned commissar, has been accused of bribing Martin to murder Martin and is now imprisoned in Perth's Casurayina Prison. Because jail bosses fear if he's put with the general population, the 40-year-old has been held in isolation in the prison's special handling unit (SHU). The SHU is effectively a retribution unit.'
