Mark Brandon "Chopper" Read showed little to no emotion as he told 60 Minutes presenter Tara Brown, how he'd committed his first murder as a 17-year-old teenager in 1971.
It was an organised hit on union heavy Desmond Costello, who was involved in the "waterfront wars" of 1970s Melbourne among the painters and dockers.
Read boasted that Costello "didn't really see it coming. He didn't believe it was going to come – not from me. I was only a young kid."
