Sam 'The Punisher' Abdulrahim has been murdered

A notorious kickboxer with a price on his head has been executed in a brazen daylight shooting. 

Sam ‘The Punisher’ Abdulrahim was reportedly gunned down in a car park outside the Quest Hotel in High Street, Preston, about 10am on Tuesday. 

The former bikie-turned-boxer has been the target of three murder contracts, a prison bashing, three assaults, a dozen fire bombings and seven shootings, including narrowly surviving one attempted hit when he was shot eight times, and another where he escaped a barrage of bullets. 

The 34-year-old former Mongol bikie had been living in hiding since two shootings at his former family home in Thomastown last year.

Among Abdulrahim’s enemies are believed to be Middle-Eastern organised crime bosses Kazem Hamad and Ahmed Al Hamza. 

His death came just days after a news report in The Age warned he had been marked for death by criminal rivals.

Abdulrahim reportedly went into hiding in May 2024 after narrowly escaping an ambush outside his northern suburbs home, where gunmen shot at him 17 times.

His Lalor home, shot up in another drive-by and then later firebombed, had been left abandoned and unliveable.

Abdulrahim’s Instagram account was littered with deliberate false trails.

One photo was supposedly posted from Lebanon with the caption: ‘Feels good to be in motherland’, at the same time he was seen drinking in a Melbourne bar.

In September, he appeared to be working as a bodyguard for Russian mixed martial arts star Khabib Nurmagomedov at an event in Kuala Lumpur, according to the newspaper.

It is understood Abdulrahim’s antics with feared prison boss George Marrogi sealed his doom. 

Abdulrahim was linked to the 2016 murder of northern suburbs drug trafficker Kadir Ors outside Campbellfield Plaza.

Allies of Ors believed Abdulrahim had arranged to meet the victim at the shopping centre so he would be in position for the brutal shooting carried out by Marrogi.
