Hells Angel opens up over brother's death

HELLS Angel Peter Zervas is suffering from Post Traumatic Stress Disorder as a result of the fatal Sydney Airport brawl and is only now beginning to open up about his brother's death, a court heard today.

Mr Zervas is facing a sentencing hearing in the Downing Centre Local Court on a charge of affray in relation to the fatal fight on March 22, 2009.

His brother, and bikie associate Anthony Zervas, was killed during the brawl between the Hells Angels and Comanchero gangs.

Just a week later, Mr Zervas was shot multiple times outside his mother's house.

Mr Zervas pleaded guilty to the charge last October, with the crown withdrawing a riot charge.

Forensic psychologist Timothy Watson Munroe told the hearing he feared Mr Zerva's rehabilitation would deteriorate if he were to enter custody over the offence.

'He is starting to open up...and starting to acknowledge that he is gaining some benefit from speaking with me,' Mr Watson Munroe told Magistrate John Favretto."
