Today’s operation follows lengthy investigations into the death of the-then 45-year-old Michael McGurk, after he was shot outside his home on Cranbrook Avenue about 6.30pm on September 3, 2009.
Strike Force Narrunga, comprises detectives from the State Crime Command’s Homicide Squad and Central Metropolitan Region, and was established to investigate the murder. Investigations are continuing.
Detectives followed a murky money trail left by McGurk, a property developer mortgaged to the hilt and in deep financial trouble because of the global financial crisis.
They have also interviewed the enemies McGurk made, many during his dealings as a short-term money lender of last resort through his firm Bentley Smythe.
“Certainly McGurk had a lot of enemies and he didn’t have any friends,” one police source said.
Aussie Criminals and Crooks 
Love to know why Police never charged MGurks wife with any charges to do with fraud etc.
They seemed to fall all over her and let her change her name. She was so sure of herself and able to have a big funeral at the Catholic Church along with the children and they are allowed to have private schooling on stolen money. A normal person would be too ashamed and want a private funeral. I think these crooks should have the name of the school the child attends and let everyone know they are not who they make out they are.
