Two men were sentenced to life in prison for the murder of King Cobras member Luke Sears, 28, who was shot and killed on a rural Canterbury road. Sears thought French owed the King Cobras gang money, but French thought he was owed $20,000 by Sears. Stewart said it seems the issues that led to Sears death were between the two men and no other members of the King Cobras were involved. “[From previous experience of managing incidents with gang involvement], the situation had the potential to be very volatile after the shooting with concerns of retaliation from the King Cobras,” he said. “I will have to have and go live somewhere else, change my name and fade away into the shadows as the King Cobras will hunt me forever!
