On August 11, 2014, Bradley Dillon was sent a mysterious message: “car park under TAB”.
It was 5.20pm and he was at Leichhardt TAB in Sydney’s inner west, after looking at a car with a friend. He left the shop, walking down to the parking structure below.
Within 16 minutes of receiving the text message, the 25-year-old staggered onto Lords Road and collapsed, after being stabbed and shot in the back numerous times in an “ambush”.
A trial relating to Mr Dillon’s death opened at the NSW Supreme Court in Darlinghurst on Monday, with 26-year-old Diego Carbone accused of his murder.
