Carindale Brisbane gym alleged attacker arrested after burying guns at property

A man wanted over the stabbing of a Comanchero bikie outside a Brisbane gym allegedly buried guns at a property before he was arrested.

Thomas Friedrich Myler, 35, is the third person to have been charged over the death of Levi Johnson, 23, at a Goodlife gym car park in Mansfield on Monday. 

Police received a tip-off before cornering Myler during a home raid on Skinner Avenue at Wellington Point and arresting him and his girlfriend on Friday night.

Brisbane regional crime co-ordinator Detective Superintendent Andrew Massingham said police would allege he buried ‘a number’ of guns at another property shortly before the arrest.

‘We were able to get assistance from PolAir and a short time after that a vehicle, a Mazda 323, left this (Wellington Point) address,’ he said.

‘That vehicle has been taken to an address in Chandler, where we believe the wanted person … buried a number of firearms on a property.’

Myler is understood to have had a falling out and split up with one of the alleged attackers Kyle Martin following the stabbing.

Martin remains on the run and police believe he is still in Queensland and possibly armed. 

‘It would appear from some words that were spoken tonight by this man (Myler) that that relationship is somewhat fractured and that’s obviously something we will be looking at in the coming days,’ Superintendent Massingham said. 

Myler has been charged with murder, unlawful possession of motor vehicle, enter premises, authority required to possess explosives and drive vehicle not fitted with interlock.

His matter was briefly mentioned before Brisbane Magistrates Court on Saturday and the case has been adjourned until October 4.

His girlfriend has not been charged by police and remains in questioning. 

Two men Stuart Galloway and Luke Thomas Moore, both 34, have already been charged with murder. 

Two cars boxed in Mr Johnson’s vehicle before four men got out and started smashing his windows on Monday. 

Mr Johnson ran away but two men caught up with him nearby, and he was stabbed multiple times. 

‘It certainly is something that was ferocious, it happened extremely quickly and they were indeed passionate about completing their task,’ superintendent Massingham said. 

Police appeal for anyone with dashcam footage from the Creek Road car park between 12.30pm and 2.10pm on Monday to come forward. They also seek any dashcam footage from the Winstanley Street car park between 11.05am and 1pm to come forward

CCTV footage released by police on Friday shows Martin at the Carindale shopping centre before the attack.

‘We say that the four individuals met at a location nearby, that they observed the victim, Mr Johnson, for some time, waited for him to depart a particular location and then follow him where they eventually cornered him in the car park of the gym at Mansfield or Carindale,’ superintendent Massingham said.
