Outlaw Media understands from sources deep inside the underworld that Hussein “Skinny” Dehaini was widely respected across the majority of Melbourne’s criminal circles. That respect made what happened next all the more shocking. The issue that cost him his life only flared in the days immediately before his execution.

While the Herald Sun reported that the former boxer was attempting to extort a Melbourne property developer, they left out the detail that matters most: it was a Syrian property developer, and Dehaini allegedly, physically slapped him around. Great offence was taken. Why anyone in their right mind would fuck with any Syrian syndicate is beyond me, but that single act appears to have been the spark.
