Motorcycle gang members charged over murder of men

FIVE men were charged in the slayings of eight people found on an isolated farm in Canada over the weekend, part of what police called an “internal cleansing” of a motorcycle gang.

The mass killings were Canada’s worst in a decade, but police did not believe a biker gang war was imminent and insisted there was little reason for public fear.

“I think this is an isolated incident and I wouldn’t expect to see any significant fallout from it,” Police Detective Don Bell said.
