South-west sydney sign maker Inline National Signage, which was the scene of a deadly siege that killed one customer and injured two more, was declared insolvent last year with an alleged list of unpaid creditors.
ProPrint understands Inline went into liquidation in early 2014 and was then bought out by current owner Chantelle Strnad. A sign industry source says the business was formerly owned by Strnad’s ex-husband who sold the company to his then wife. The pair only finalised their divorce several weeks ago.
ProPrint also understands that Strnad and deceased gunman Williams had been recently dating. Strnad had called the Williams to the premises to assist her in dealing with the customers in a dispute, who he then shot. Williams had links to the Finks bikie gang but the shooting was not related to the gangs.
Shots rang out from the Ingleburn based business on Monday morning, which resulted in the death of customer Michael Bassal who visited the store in a pre-arranged meeting with his two brothers in regards to a paid order they had not received.
