Oz grandmother set up execution of brother-in-law

AN Australian underworld matriarch has been found guilty of orchestrating an execution-style murder of her brother-in-law at a busy suburban cafe.

Judy Moran, a 66-year-old grandmother, was convicted over the slaying of Des “Tuppence” Moran who died from multiple gunshot wounds to the head in Melbourne in June 2009, in a case police described as too far-fetched for television.

Shot at noon at close range by two balaclava-wearing gunmen, the former underworld enforcer was from a family that played a key role in a deadly years-long gang war for control of the city’s drugs trade.
