Second man charged over alleged gangland murder of Rami Iskander

Homicide detectives have charged a second man over the alleged murder of Rami Iskander.

Iskander, the nephew of slain underworld figure Mahmoud "Brownie" Ahmad, was shot dead in the early hours of May 14, just two weeks after his uncle.

The 23-year-old was found in his driveway in Belmore with gunshot wounds and despite being treated by paramedics, he died at the scene.

A man was arrested in Sydney yesterday morning and has since been charged with being an accessory after the fact to murder and concealing a serious indictable offence.

Police will allege in court the 29-year-old provided direct assistance to persons involved in the incident following the murder of Iskander.

He was refused bail to appear at Downing Centre Local Court today.

Last month, a 42-year-old man was arrested and charged over his alleged involvement in the deadly shooting.

He was charged with a number of offences, including being an accessory to murder, knowingly dealing with proceeds of crime, participating in a criminal group and contributing to criminal group activity.

He remains before the courts.

Iskander's death was initially investigated by the State Crime Command's Homicide Squad but was taken over by Taskforce Erebus, which looks at several fatal shootings and criminal activities by organised crime networks across Sydney.

Investigations under Taskforce Erebus continue.
