Christopher Wayne Hudson has pleaded guilty

Christopher Wayne Hudson has pleaded guilty to last year's Melbourne CBD shooting.
Hudson has been charged with one count of murder and two counts of attempted murder.
Father-of-three Brendan Keilar died, and Dutch backpacker Paul de Waard and former Sydney model Kaera Douglas were wounded, when the Hells Angels' member opened fire shortly after 8am on June 18. Mr Keilar, a solicitor, died when he went to the aid of Ms Douglas who was being assaulted by Hudson on the corner of Flinders Lane and William Street. Mr de Waard was on the brink of death after being shot twice in the chest and abdomen. Ms Douglas was also critically injured in the attack, but survived. Hudson turned himself into police two days after the triple shooting and a subsequent massive police man hunt. Magistrate Phillip Goldberg remanded Hudson to appear for a directions hearing in the Victoria Supreme Court in June.
