A former bike gang enforcer known as ‘Lizard Man’ has been found dead with his ex-girlfriend.<\/p>\n
Bronson Ellery – given the nickname because of his heavily-tattooed appearance – was found with Shelea Schilling, 20, in his Gold Coast apartment in Australia on Friday afternoon.<\/p>\n
A murder investigation has been launched after police said the pair had died in ‘unknown circumstances’.<\/p>\n
Ellery, 24, was once a member of the infamous Bandidos Motorcycle Club and had been in and out of prison in recent years.<\/p>\n
Detective Senior Sergeant Matthew Ward said no weapon had been found at the crime scene and police did not yet know how they had died.<\/p>\n
“We don’t have any information (regarding their deaths) at this stage apart from the fact that we have a female and a male within the address. Anything is possible. We’re appealing to anyone with knowledge of the persons who occupied this address or who were associated to this address.”<\/p>\n
Ms Schilling’s mother Bonnie Markwell Mobbs claimed Bronson had killed her daughter in an emotional social media post after her daughter’s body was found.<\/p>\n
She wrote: “B****** had no life took his and my baby girl. Rott (sic) in hell Bronson. Let my angel be safe.”<\/p>\n
In March 2015, Ellery spent four months in custody for trying to intimidate a man into withdrawing a complaint to police. He pleaded guilty to attempting to pervert the course of justice in Southport District Court.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
