A man of the moment has been charged with the murder of Mark Boyce in 2017, who brutally beat the open-air beating of his home.
Boyce, an innocent guy who was not the intended target of the attack, struck, struck and trampled three men in Elizabeth South, north of Adelaide’s financial district, and died in hospital as a result of his injuries.
Two cars transported the attackers to and from the scene, and in September 2019, one of the cars on an asset at the Hells Angels Motorcycle Club in Ponde, about 30 kilometres north of Murray Bridge.
The car, a Toyota Echo of the accused, was discovered 4 meters underground, cut and burned.
“The investigation has progressed for more than nine months to the point where we have now been able to arrest a 31-year-old Type of Gulfview Heights who was arrested this morning in his office in Lonsdale,” he told reporters Wednesday.
The type will appear at the Adelaide Magistrates’ Court later on Wednesday or Thursday morning.

Police searched his house and confiscated “several items.”
He’s serving a life sentence with a 20-year era without parole.
Mr Boyce is not the intended target of the assault, but is attacked after the original target is simply not found.
Superintendent Bray said the most recent arrest is vital to police, who have now turned their attention to a third suspect.
“This investigation has been long and difficult, and will continue as we seek to build a case opposed to the third suspect,” he said.
Superintendent Bray said that, for the time being, officials were still connected to the case: a 2013 silver Toyota RAV4 connected to the third murder suspect.
“When we issued a press release shortly after Mark’s murder, this vehicle disappeared from our roads and has not been seen since,” Superintendent Bray said.
He called Crime Stopper in 2017, who “detailed data on the murder” to reconnect.
“If they call Crime Stoppers today, between 6 p.m. and 9 p.m., they will be transferred to one of the officials investigating this matter,” he said.
