Police eliciting information from jailed bikie
A Perth jury has been told police are continuing to elicit
information from a former bikie who is serving a life prison term
for murder.
The District Court heard the former member of the Gypsy Jokers
gang also receives small amounts money from police.
Sidney Reid received two life prison sentences with a 15-year
minimum for murdering former CIB chief Don Hancock and his friend
Lou Lewis, killed in a car bomb attack three years ago.
Reid's minimum term was reduced because he co-operated with
police, including testifying against his former bikie colleagues
who are on trial, accused of carrying out revenge attacks on
properties belonging to Mr Hancock.
Today police testified Reid was being held in a maximum security
jail outside of Western Australia and because of security
concerns received no visitors. other than police officers who
continued to obtain information from him.
The court was also told police put small amounts of money in his
prison account so he could buy potato chips and cigarettes.
Reid is due to give his evidence later this month.
