A killer dubbed ‘Little Crazy’ has been denied parole for his own protection and to stop the breakout of a deadly new gang war in Sydney.
Mohammad Hamzy, 37, of the Hamzy clan and a former member of the Brothers for Life gang, is currently serving 11 years and six months in prison over the manslaughter of another gang member in 2012.
He is eligible for parole from February 25 and applied for release two weeks ago – only to be knocked back.
A State Parole Authority panel found he presents an ‘unacceptable risk’ to the community, while NSW Police fear his release could spark a spate of gang violence.

They also fear he would seek revenge on the Alameddine clan, his family’s bitter rivals, over he alleged murders of his cousins Bilal Hamze, Mejid Hamze and Ghassan Amoun.
‘There is no doubt his release would have stirred up trouble among certain people,’ a senior police officer told the Daily Telegraph.
‘We are pretty happy that he was not released.’
