Police charge third man over estate agent Sid Morgan's Point Cook shooting 

<html><body>
Sid Morgan, the Hills district estate agent shot in the face in Melbourne, remains on life support.
The update was advised by prosecutors during a court appearance yesterday by two Irishmen charged with his attempted murder.
Prosecutors said Mr Morgan is on life support but defence lawyers claim the description of his condition could be an “exaggeration’’.
Prosecutors in Melbourne Magistrates Court said Sid Morgan remains in an induced coma.
Mark Dixon, 30, and Jack Harvey, 26, were arrested in NSW near Byron Bay last Wednesday over the Point Cook shooting on February 21.
Dixon and Harvey were extradited to Victoria.
Both have been charged with attempting to murder Mr Morgan, 53, in the middle of a street after an argument in the western Melbourne suburb.

The pair is currently assisting police with their enquiries.
Warrants were issued for the arrest of the men after the shooting of Sid Morgan, a 53-year-old man at a Spraypoint Drive home about 11pm on 21 February.
He remains in critical condition at the Royal Melbourne Hospital.
This is the <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/news/95701-sydney-estate-agent-sid-morgan-shot-at-point-cook" target="_blank">second set of arrests that has taken place</a>, with two men from Melbourne's west being released without charge after being arrested on Saturday.
In 1995, Morgan, who previously went by the name of Said, was a detective in NSW police force in the 1990s.
He became aware of allegations that his brother-in-law, Mansour Suha, had been molesting three young girls, two of them his young relatives. He then shot Suha, shooting the man six times.
In 1996 a jury rejected the Crown argument that it was a revenge shooting, finding Mr Morgan instead acted out of fear for the girls' safety.
A jury took 33 minutes to decide his actions were justified. 
He was however refused reinstatement into the NSW police force.

Sid Morgan, the Hills Shire, Sydney estate agent, suffered serious head injuries after a shot to his forehead in an incident on a Point Cook cul de sac last Thursday evening.
Two men have been questioned by Victoria Police over the shooting that left Morgan fighting for life in the Royal Melbourne Hospital.
Sid Morgan, 53, was shot in the head in Spraypoint Drive at Point Cook about 11pm.
Neighbours said they heard an argument before a gunshot went off.
Security cameras captured a ute rushing from the cul de sac.
Three white cars were dusted for prints. 
Police have not yet revealed the motive of the crime. 
Investigators have spoken to a 29-year-old Point Cook man, located at Nagambie, north of Melbourne, and a 30-year-old man in Point Cook.
They were later released pending further inquiries.
Members of the police search and rescue team were set to search the lake at Sanctuary Lakes as part of the investigation.
Morgan promoted himself as <a href="https://www.realestate.com.au/agent/sid-morgan-1907894" target="_blank">The Hills number one agent</a> having been an estate agent since 1997.
His website profile suggests Sid has personally held records in five different suburbs at the one time.
He prompted himself as an agent with a 'Never Say Die' attitude.
His record prices have included a <a href="https://www.realestate.com.au/sold/property-house-nsw-bella+vista-126245378" target="_blank">2017 Bella Vista sale at $3,335,000</a>.
His last sale according to the realestate.com.au website was at Cherrybrook last September.
Throughthe years he has secured sales ranging from a $4.5 million sale at Newport on the northern beaches to $3.35 million at Sylvania Waters in Sydney's south.
The Sunday Herald Sun reported he had been travelling between Melbourne and Sydney where he was still working as a real estate agent. 
Property Observer saw Morgan two weeks ago at a Lane Cove open for inspection of a $8 million seven-bedroom home which was targeting the Chinese buyer, by keeping as many lucky number eight's as possible.
The price guide has been dropped from $8.8 million, which it was when listed last year, to $8,088,000.
The home previously sold at a suburb record when paying $4.25 million three years ago.
The late 1980s home, built from double brick and suspended concrete slab construction, has been opulently renovated throughout.
It has five bedrooms, five bathrooms, a fully self-contained guest quarters and a five car, auto entry garage.
It sits in 1,810 sqm of private resort style grounds which feature a floodlit, championship size tennis court with incorporated basketball court, a solar heated swimming pool and a gym.
The tennis court is one of only a few in the whole suburb.
The marketing says the process of obtaining council approval to turn the property into four luxury three level townhouses with internal lifts is well underway.
Sid Morgan operated Morgan One Stop Realty at Castle Hill, then Morgans.
He launched an innovative virtual office at Castle Towers in 2006.
His virtual office was set to consist of a centralised administration office which Sid Morgan refers to as the mother ship, and satellite offices.
Morgan says each satellite office will consist of a four-workstation unit which can be located in any high pedestrian traffic area.
He had won a Hills Excellence In Business Award for his interactive real estate displays at the front of his office.

Morgan, then known as Said Morgan, was accused of the shooting murder of his brother-in-law, Mansour Suha, on 26 May 1995 at a home at Oakhurst.
 He was not convicted for the killing, because he believed the lives of the children who had been molested were in danger.
