Police say the two men had already entered through a window, and rushed at Mr Palasics who said he didn't have time to defend himself.Mrs Palasics was later found dead after she was bound and gagged with tape.Police say the men had ransacked the house, and left after discovering $30,000 and jewellery in a hidden cupboard.

Police said he was later led to believe the syndicate had "significant" influence with a corrupt law enforcement officer, who Mr Fabriczy could call upon for any difficulties.
