Australian police foil alleged plot to kill members of rap group OneFour
OneFour.Police said the two men, named in reports as Brandon Maseuli and Yousef Rima, had conspired to murder “four high-profile men from Sydney’s northwest on behalf of another network”, according to the BBC.The targets were identified as OneFour members Jerome ‘J Emz’ Misa, Pio ‘YP’ Misa, Spencer ‘Spenny’ Magalogo and Dahcell ‘Celly’ Ramos. It is not known why fifth member, Salec ‘Lekks’ Su’a, was not targeted.Maseuli and Rima were arrested in Sydney today (January 11), with charges including conspiracy to murder, kidnapping, directing a criminal group, and various drug and robbery-related offences.According to the Sydney Morning Herald, the plot is thought to have stemmed from a conflict between the rappers and the group that were alleged to have hired the criminal syndicate’s Sydney cell.Two others are being pursued to potentially face charges, while a fifth – who is already wanted in relation to the shooting of three people in connection to Sydney’s cocaine war – is also wanted over alleged links.The alleged plot was foiled as part of a bigger investigation.
