I don't think Steele, or whomes were involved. Yes Steele was a wrongun, but had no history of violence.
In my humble opinion it was all to do with Leah Betts, the coppers daughter. I forget the name of the grass, but he got away with drug smuggling for giving evidence against Steele, and Whomes.
They did not have multiple wounds, but were clinicly shot. In fact the driver of the landrover still had his hands on the wheel, they never knew what happened.
According to the time line they had laid there for some hours before being found, and it was a freezing night.
This being the case blood would flow again once the bodies were taken to the morgue, and they started to defrost again so to speak.
The murdered men had many enemies, and it was only a matter of time before they were wiped out.
My son knows Pat Tates brother, and he does not think that Steele, and Whomes are responsible. In fact the brother of Jack Whomes [John] said he was a lousy shot, and he would have been asked to do the job.
The pair have never admitted to guilt, and this will impact on any attempt for parole.
