Canada - Gang member turns himself in

OFF THE WIRE
Update Wednesday: Robert Thomas, a full patch member of the Kelowna Hells Angels turned himself in to Kelowna RCMP at 3 a.m.

Members of the gang violence task force along with major-crimes detectives in Kelowna helped in the investigation.

Philli ps, 51, died in hospital following a fight between two groups June 12 near McCurdy and Gibson Roads.

Charges have been laid against Robert Leonard Thomas, 45, Norman Robert Cocks, 31, Robert Charles Cocks, 53, David Joseph McRae, 21, Matthew Thomas Mcrae, 19, Anson Lloyd Schell, 19, and Thomas Allen Vaughan, 22.

It's believed Phillips was intervening in an on-going dispute between his sons and two brothers they had known in high school.

Phillips was fatally beaten with hammers and baseball bats.

Norman Cocks and Robert Thomas are the first patch-wearing Hells Angels to be accused of murder in the 28-year history of the biker gang in BC.
