FORMER Red Scorpions gang boss Jamie Bacon, now 40, who was the mastermind behind the October 2007 Surrey Six slayings, in which innocent bystanders Christopher (Chris) Mohan and Edward J. Schellenberg were also killed, has been released from prison after completing his sentence given by B.C. Supreme Court in September 2020. He had pleaded guilty to conspiracy to kill.
Bacon now lives outside B.C. and the anti-gang Combined Forces Special Enforcement Unit said he will be monitored by police and Correctional Service Canada.
Mohan, who lived with his parents in their apartment next door to Corey Lal, and gasfitter Edward J. Schellenberg, 55, of Abbotsford, who was performing maintenance on the fireplace in Corey Lal’s apartment, were the innocent victims who were in the wrong place at the wrong time.
Four other victims who police said led criminal lifestyles – brothers Corey Lal, 21, and Michael Justin Lal, 26, and Edward (Eddie) Sousakhone Narong, 22, and Ryan Bartolomeo, 19 – were also executed in typical gang-style fashion at Apartment 1505 of the Balmoral Towers at 9830 East Whalley Ring Road in Surrey that day.
According to an agreed statement of facts in court, Bacon was trying to take over the illegal drug market in Surrey and Corey Lal was the leader of rival dealers.
