On October 1, 2000 two shots rang out in the darkness in the middle of nowhere. The handful of Gypsy Jokers sitting around a campfire near the pub in the tiny Goldfields town of Ora Banda hit the deck. One wasn’t so lucky. Billy Grierson caught a bullet in the chest and bled to death. The owner of the pub, former CIB detective Don Hancock insisted he had nothing to do with the death. The Jokers were not convinced. Bombing after bombing followed Griersons death. Hancock refused witness protection. And then came the act that rocked the State & changed WA forever. The West Australian’s bikie whisperer, chief reporter and host of Up Late, Ben Harvey, joins Tim Clarke to dissect the murder of Billy Grierson, and the terrifying fallout which followed.
