Shamiela Thomas wife of alleged 28s gangster and murder suspect George "Geweld" Thomas is to appear in court

wife of alleged 28s gangster and murder suspect George "Geweld" Thomas is to appear in court on charges relating to the illegal possession of drugs.The charges relate to drugs allegedly found by police of the specialised organised crime unit when they arrested Shamiela Thomas, 25, at her home on Thursday after the court issued a warrant for her on charges of corruption and defeating the ends of justice.She appeared in the Bishop Lavis Magistrate's Court on Friday and is expected to apply for bail on Thursday.Details of the allegations of defeating the ends of justice and corruption could not be established.George Thomas is in custody on charges of murder and illegal possession of a firearm. The charges relate to the murder of Mogammat Nur Salie and his girlfriend, Blanche van der Westhuizen, both of Bishop Lavis.
Thomas and two other men are accused of going to Observatory on August 7, 2004, to steal a car. They are alleged to have approached Van der Westhuizen, 24, a bank clerk, and Salie, 25, a paramedic, as they were sitting in a car. Salie's body was found in bush beside Rotterdam Road in Mfuleni a few days later. Salie had been shot in the head.Van der Westhuizen was found buried in a shallow grave in bush beside the R300 near Kuils River, three weeks after she had been reported missing.
It appeared that Salie had been killed first, and that Van der Westhuizen had been driven to another spot and raped before being murdered.Thomas, who has 22 convictions, was denied bail last year after he was accused of pointing an unlicensed firearm out of the window of a car during a police chase while he was on bail for double murder and attempted murder charges.The court found that if he were released on bail, he would endanger the safety of the public and was likely to intimidate State witnesses.

Four people were arrested on suspected drug charges, including the group's leader.Methamphetamine was found at the Gypsy Joker Motorcycle Club compound at West 19th Avenue and South Gum Street. Benton County Undersheriff Paul Hart said they needed so many officers as a "precautionary" step because the Gypsy Jokers are known to be connected to drugs and other criminal activities."It is an outlaw motorcycle gang with convicted felons who reside there," Hart said. "We gear up to meet that threat."Some stolen property and a couple of weapons also were seized, he said. The Violent Crimes Task Force, made up of federal agents and local police detectives, raided the club house and two homes at 5 a.m.The Benton County Regional SWAT team and the Yakima SWAT team were used to help search all the buildings."Because of the large site ... it makes it difficult to secure and make sure everybody is safe," Hart said. "The Violent Crimes Task Force ... ...

William (Billy) Bowden, 33, pleaded guilty in a Winnipeg courtroom today to carrying a firearm in a careless manner in January 2007 and skipping out on his preliminary hearing about a year later. Other drug and weapons charges related to the 2007 incident were stayed as part of a plea bargain securing the two convictions. Bowden remains in custody though, charged with manslaughter in relation to the November 2007 killing of Jeff Engen, who was fatally stabbed at the Empire Cabaret, prompting the club to close. That charge remains before the courts. Bowden has been in custody since he was arrested Feb. 14 in Whistler, B.C., and returned to Manitoba.

Oak Park gang member charged in the shooting death of one of his homeboys while they were out on a retaliation attack in rival territory.

One of the shots fired by defendant Denishio Demmitrius Collins, 26, killed David Perkins, 22, one of the eight gang members from the Oak Park Bloods who filled three cars in the assault on a rival Crip set, according to Ortiz."This wasn't an in-the-dark sneak attack," Ortiz said. "These were people who said 'screw it' - this is our war and we're going to bring it to your streets." After the shooting, the Oak Park gang members dumped the dying Perkins out of one of their vehicles and left him to die, Ortiz said."He was left on a sidewalk to die by his homeboys," the prosecutor said.
