Kevin Wayne Gillard, one of two hitmen hired by bikies to commit a double execution in 1996, is now living in Adelaide’s eastern suburbs despite maintaining “a number of bizarre delusions’’.
Gillard, who is now in his sixties, is residing at an inner-eastern suburbs supported accommodation facility after having his release on licence approved by the Supreme Court – despite suffering from severe schizophrenia. He is subject to strict conditions that include continued psychiatric treatment and bans on him entering certain suburbs.
In 1996, Gillard drove career criminal Gerald Preston, now 61, to a Lonsdale workshop to execute drug dealer Les Knowles.
The pair entered the workshop and Preston approached Knowles, asking him and another man named Tim Richards “are you Les’’ before opening fire on both with a Luger handgun, killing them instantly. A third man suffered a minor bullet wound.
