Inside the murderous reign of the Aussie Godfather - thestar.com

Inside the murderous reign of the Aussie Godfather - thestar.com: "For nearly decade, Carl Williams oversaw a murderous spree that decimated the two crime families controlling Melbourne’s drug trade and outraged all of Australia.
On Monday, the war ended when Williams, a baby-faced 39-year-old, was beaten to death in prison with the seat post from an exercise bike.
Williams left behind a shattered landscape. His own mother died recently of a drug overdose. He had no more friends – they’d all been killed, often at his orders. Aside from violence, his only legacy is an Australian TV show, Underbelly, based in part on his life.
Asked on Monday to comment on Williams’ death, gangster Dominic “‘Mick” Gatto, one of the few Williams’ targets who got away, declined: “I would rather let dead dogs lie.”"
