Muslims doing gangland murders in Sydney
Posted: Wed Oct 20, 2021 6:47 pm
It was the quiet suburban street where Hamzes and Alameddines lived literally side by side - until the peace was shattered by a deadly salvo of shots on Wednesday morning.
Elsewhere in the Sydney's west, the two family names are synonymous with the bloody gangland battle which has seen brutal tit for tat gun battles and executions.
On Guildford's Osgood Street however, it was a different story.
Father Toufik Hamze, 64, is believed to have lived alone in his humble rented home at number 17 after son Salim, 18, moved out to live in his own home in Auburn.
Just across the road however, lived the Alameddines, at their palatial home at number 18.
Despite the bitter bloody feud played out by their namesakes, on Osgood Street, neighbours say both families got on well without any hint of trouble.
Until Wednesday.
Around 8.30am, Salim and Toufik Hamze were gunned down as the son picked up his father in their battered old ute to go to to work.
Salim died in the hail of bullets at the scene, his body left in the morning sun, partially hidden under a blue sheet by medics and detectives.
His father was rushed to hospital in a critical condition but medics couldn't save him.

A burnt out Lexus - believed to have been used as the assassins' getaway vehicle - was found less than 2km from the scene shortly after the double execution.
The deaths were instantly linked to the long-running gang battle between the rival crime families - but neighbours fear there has been a terrible mistake.
'Salim and Toufik are not related to the gangster Hamzes,' said one neighbour. 'I'm from Lebanon myself so I know these things.
'They are not from the same family, same village, same part of Lebanon or even the same religion. They had nothing to do with the other Hamzes.

'There was never any trouble between the Hamzes and Alameddines on Osgood Street.
'They got on well - there no hint of any trouble.'
He added: 'I think someone has made a terrible mistake. I think there's been a misunderstanding.
'They've been too good together, I've never seen them fight at all.'
Jailed Brothers 4 Life gangland boss Bassam Hamzy confirmed to Daily Mail Australia from his Supermax high security jail cell in Goulburn that the dead men were no relation to him.
