Shedden massacre


The Shedden massacre involved the killing of eight men, whose bodies were found in a farmer's field five kilometres north of Shedden, a small village in the Canadian province of Ontario, on April 8, 2006. Four vehicles, with the bodies inside, were first discovered by a farmer. The day after the bodies were discovered, five people, including one member of the Bandidos motorcycle gang, were arrested for the murders, and three more people were arrested in June 2009. The Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) said the killings were an isolated event and there were no fears for the safety of local residents.

On April 10, the victims were all confirmed to have been shot and identified as follows:

All but Flanz and Trotta were described as "full patch" (fully initiated and active) members of the Bandidos; Muscedere was believed to be the president of the Bandidos in Canada. This mass murder was investigated for several weeks. The road upon which the vehicles were found was a short distance from an exit off Highway 401. The bodies were discovered in a "silver 2001 Volkswagen Golf, a grey 2003 Infiniti SUV, a grey Pontiac Grand Prix and a green Chevrolet Silverado tow truck operated by Superior Towing of Etobicoke."

Police arrived at the barn to a scene filled with blood, pieces of flesh and beer bottles, also noting Confederate and Nazi flags hanging on a wall.

Convicted of first degree murder are:

Kellestine is a full member of the Bandidos; he and the other four suspects were all arrested at his residence, which is only a few kilometres from the crime scene.

The surrounding Elgin County has a history of biker gang activity, though not of major crime.
