A former inmate said he was present at a prison-yard meeting when Alvin Starblanket accepted a $25,000 contract to kill police informant Aimé Simard in 2003 and that another inmate, Christopher Cluney, participated in the murder. Anthony Tawiyaka was testifying yesterday at Cluney's first-degree murder trial. His co-accused, Starblanket, pleaded guilty last week to second-degree murder in the July 18, 2003, killing. He claimed sole responsibility for the crime. Simard, 35, had been a member of a Hells Angels-affiliated gang, the Rockers, but had given evidence against other gang members in three other murders in Quebec and Nova Scotia.
