FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda
CARL Williams was killed because he was a “dog” who co-operated with police, murdered by a man who hated informers, a court has been told.
Closing the prosecution case against Matthew Charles Johnson, who killed Williams in a prison bashing last year, Mark Rochford SC said Johnson’s claim that he acted in self-defence was not plausible.
“The motive here is Carl was a dog,” Mr Rochford told the Victorian Supreme Court yesterday. “He (Johnson) is the general, he has to live by the code.”
The court has heard Johnson, 38, was the founder and “general” of a group called Prisoners of War, who hated those who assisted police.
He allegedly lived by a motto of “death to the enemy” — dogs — and had the phrase tattooed on his body. Williams, a former gangland boss, had provided statements to police who were investigating an ex-detective, Paul Dale, for a double murder.

“Carl Williams was a prisoner sentenced in a high-security unit, sitting, reading the newspaper, doing his sentence when he (Johnson) came up behind him and . . . killed him deliberately,” Mr Rochford said. “It doesn’t matter if someone in the community thinks Matt Johnson did the world a favour by killing Carl Williams. It’s not about that.”
Defence barrister Bill Stuart said Williams had a “preconceived plan” to kill Johnson, and Johnson had good reason to believe their other cellmate, who told him of the threat.
“Carl Williams was probably . . . the most dangerous man to have walked the streets of Melbourne in our times,” Mr Stuart said. “With the death of Matthew Johnson, Carl Williams would have a clear go at getting the benefits he sought from the police and others.”
Mr Stuart said Johnson had many opportunities to kill Williams after learning the drug lord was co-operating with police, but did not act until he learned Williams planned to kill him.
Closing submissions will continue on Monday.
