How notorious bikie Shane Bowden will be laid to rest in a small ceremony with this grandchildren before his ashes are spread in one of his favourite places after he was gunned down in his driveway

The heartbroken family of notorious Finks bikie Shane Bowden says he will be laid to rest in the hometown of his grandchildren after he was gunned down in his driveway. 

Bowden was killed at his home in Pimpama, on the Gold Coast, in Queensland, about 12.10am on October 12. 

The 48-year-old bikie was returning from a late-night gym session when he was shot in the head and chest at point-blank range and died.  

Bowden's body was cremated on Tuesday October 20 and a family member will pick up the ashes later this week, Courier Mail reported. 

The father-of-two will be buried in a private ceremony in Adelaide where his grandchildren live.

Investigations into his execution-style murder continue with police believing it is linked to his recent defection from the Mongols to the Finks. 

Police believe Bowden was targeted by two ruthless killers who positioned themselves at a nearby parking lot while waiting for Bowden to arrive home.

They are now investigating whether the pair had the bikie under surveillance for a number of weeks before killing him.

Two burnt out cars found at Beenleigh and Ormeau, believed to be linked to the incident, are being forensically examined.  

Footage from CCTV cameras along the street has also been scoured by police.

Queensland Police Detective Superintendent Brendan Smith said it appeared that Bowden had been ambushed.

'At this point we believe the victim came home from the gym and has driven into his driveway, the assailants have run in and shot him multiple times and consequently now he is deceased,' he said.

'He's basically driven into his driveway, hasn't even gotten out of his car and has been executed.

'It obviously makes things harder when these types of gangs are involved because they have their own code of silence.

'It's important that people understand that these gangs are criminals… that survive on retribution, violence and threats and if anyone thinks anything otherwise they're an idiot.

'Nobody deserves to die in this manner but, you live by the sword, you die by the sword.'

Three months ago, Bowden survived a failed attempt to kill him in Melbourne.

Murdered bikie Shane Bowden had been feuding with fellow Finks OMCG member Jye Carter over model Tennielle Patterson prior to his death at a Gold Coast home on Monday

Daily Mail Australia earlier revealed that prior to his execution, high-profile Finks leader Bowden had been accused by fellow senior member Jye Carter of sleeping with his girlfriend.

Carter had been dating lingerie model Tennielle Patterson for seven months but was of the belief Bowden had become 'involved' with her.

A handful of Instagram messages sent from Carter to a friend in the aftermath of Bowden's death reveal that he admitted the pair had been 'fighting'. 

Daily Mail Australia is not suggesting that Carter was involved in Bowden's murder.
