A short time later, emergency services were called to Bathurst Street, in the neighbouring suburb of Wakeley, after an abandoned car was set on fire. 

‘Investigations into the incidents – which are believed to be linked – are underway by officers from Fairfield City Police Area Command, assisted by State Crime Command’s Homicide Squad,’ Police said. 

It is believed Mr Khou’s death is the latest hit in Sydney’s gangland war in escalating violence among Asian crime networks.
