Sleeping ambush: Former bikie boss’ son kidnapped from his bed, body dumped in playground | 7NEWS

Good evening.The son of a former bikey boss has been kidnapped and killed, triggering a major murder investigation across Melbourne.

Up to seven armed men snatched the victim from his South Morang home, then dumped his body almost an hour away near a playground in Tarnate.

Dumped in the middle of a public park, metres from a playground, 60km from his home.The body of Patrick Longordo at the centre of a major homicide investigation spanning the city's north east to the west.

Yes, yes he was known to police.

The victim is the son of former Mongols president Joseph Longodo.

It appears at this point in time that the offending is somewhat targeted.

It's understood up to seven Sudanese males smashed their way through the front door of the 30 year old's home around 3am.He was asleep when the machete wielding thugs attacked his brother James and two children also inside at the time.

To be home in your house and to have something like this happen is extremely, is very, very frightening.

The victim was dragged from the family home into a dark coloured Mazda.That vehicle captured on security footage, racing through the streets of Tarneit.

The body discovered around 4 .30 this morning.I was here last night and usually I don't feel unsafe in this area.Now, like, I think I would think twice before going out when it's dark.

There's never any trouble in the area.It's really quiet.

The Mazda was abandoned and torched on this secluded road surrounded by paddocks near Ainsbury just before 6am.Investigators are now searching for another getaway car.Police now making a desperate plea for witnesses and dashcam to help canvass a broad area as communities right across Melbourne are left on edge.

I assure the community that we have a largenumber of homicide squad detectives working on this investigation and we will piece it together.

And Geordie Wright, police are now bracing for payback.

Mike, it's understood Joseph Langordo is currently on a flight home from Bali after receiving word of his son's death.Police will be on high alert with concerns of possible retribution.They also face a major task with three crime scenes spanning more than 60 kilometres.There's a significant amount of evidence for them to collect, all while quickly trying to establish a motive and who was behind this targeted attack.Complicating matters further, the family isn't fully cooperating with police and those responsible are still on the run, Mike.

Jordy, thank you.
