Three men have been charged with the murder of university student Marco Tapia, who was shot dead in his bed at his Glen Alpine home on 1 September in a mistaken-identity attack. Police allege the suspects were contracted as hired guns by an organised crime group and were targeting someone else connected to organised crime who lived nearby. The arrests bring the total number of people charged in connection with the shooting to five, including two teenagers previously arrested for facilitating the murder.
