David Stemler death: Third person arrested over gruesome alleged murder in ... trends now

A third person is expected to be charged with murder over a gruesome alleged gang killing on the streets of Sydney - as one of the accused, a heavily pregnant woman, makes a bid for bail. 

NSW Police Homicide Squad detectives arrested a man at Silverwater prison on Thursday morning and are preparing to charge the 30-year-old with the alleged murder of Ferenc 'David' Stemler.

Mr Stemler, 28, was allegedly gunned down in Sydney's deadly gang war out the front of his home in Canterbury, in Sydney's west last year.

In gruesome scenes on July 27, Stemler's tattooed body was pictured riddled with bullets lying in the middle of the road, as schoolchildren walked past that morning. 

Strike Force Murrell officers last month charged a 27-year-old man with the murder as well as Rhylee Peta Stig, 23, who was not handcuffed on her arrest due to her condition.

Ms Stig, who is believed to be nearing full-term in her pregnancy, is due to make an application after Easter to be released from prison ahead of the birth of her child. 

The former Hunter Valley schoolgirl, who was arrested at her Wetherill Park home on February 21, was charged with murder and refused police bail. 

She was then again refused bail in Fairfield Local Court when police said she 'has not shown cause why detention is not justified'.

However, Ms Stig is now making an application for release next Tuesday before Justice Mark Ierace in the NSW Supreme Court. 

Detectives say that Mr Stemler was shot dead as he approached a white Commodore Broughton Street in Canterbury between 1.55am and 2am on July 27, 2023.
