A woman who was kidnapped from her residence in Sydney and later discovered deceased in a vehicle was allegedly targeted due to her partner’s links with an organized crime syndicate, according to police reports.
Thi Kim Tran, 45, originally from Vietnam, was kidnapped from her home in Bankstown and killed on April 17.
Her body was found in a torched car in Beverly Hills.
Commander Joe Doueihi of the NSW Police homicide squad today stated that they suspect Tran was murdered because of her partner’s connections to a drug production network involved in criminal activities.
Doueihi also mentioned that an eight-year-old boy remains in a coma induced by medical staff, after being brutally attacked with a baseball bat during the incident. However, there is optimism from the medical team that he may regain consciousness today.
A 15-year-old was uninjured however Doueihi said he suffered severe “psychological injury” as a result of watching his mother attacked and kidnapped.
Doueihi said Tran and the children were innocent victims.
“The level of violence is “rare and unprecedented,” he said.
“They’re callous, brutal and are offences against innocent people.”
Doueihi issued a warning to anyone involved with organised crime groups and said it could place loved ones in “significant risk”.
Police are seeking information from members of the public who have any knowledge of the victim or the organised crime group.
