Murder charges for Brothers for Life duo

Two Brothers for Life members have been charged with the shooting murder of Joseph Antoun in Sydney.

Two members of Sydney's notorious Brothers for Life gang have been charged with the murder of a 50-year-old man.

Joseph Antoun was shot after answering a knock at his front door in Strathfield on the evening of December 16.

Paramedics were called and attempted to revive him, but he died of his injuries.

Detectives from Strike Force Kirkland investigated and on Tuesday arrested a 25-year-old man at Silverwater jail and charged him with murder.

He is to appear in Burwood Local Court on Wednesday.

His arrest follows that of a 24-year-old man in Parramatta last Thursday.

He was charged with murder and appeared in Parramatta Local Court where he was refused bail and is next due to appear at Burwood Local Court on March 17.

Detectives will allege that both men are members of the Blacktown chapter of Brothers for Life.
