MONTREAL - Brian McGuire, 50, has been arrested in connection with a brazen afternoon double murder at a McDonald's parking lot at the southwest corner of NDG in January 2010.

McGuire appeared Wednesday at criminal court in Montreal to answer the charges of premeditated murder committed Sunday January 24, 2010 at 5 p.m. 

McGuire, a Lasalle resident, was the fourth person charged in connection to the murder of Anthony Onesi and Kirk Murray.

Two other men involved in the shooting turned informant and fingered Hells Angel Jeffrey Lynds, of Nova Scotia for ordering the killing.

In February 2011 brothers Timothy Simpson, 45 and Robert Simpson, 48, from Nova Scotia pleaded guilty to charges of first degree murder.

They told Superior Court Judge André Vincent they were hired to kill Kirk Murray over a drug transaction, executing the hit at the McDonald's parking lot at 5 p.m. on a Sunday.

Murray had a long rap sheet, which included a conviction for double murder he committed in Montreal following an argument over a dog in 1983.

The second victim, Antonio Onesi, a father of six, was Murray's driver and was apparently shot because he was an inconvenient witness.

The two brothers cut a deal with police that would have them testify against the man who hired them, former Halifax Hells Angels member Jeffrey Lynds. Lynds was also arrested at around the same time as the Simpson brothers last summer.

The Simpson brothers also pleaded guilty to the murder of a third man, Longueuil drug trafficker Mark Stewart, who was kidnapped and killed in February of last year.

Lynds committed suicide at the Rivière des Prairies Detention Centre earlier this year before he could face charges.
