Tibble saw Quinn fleeing from the police after he had been noticed acting suspiciously near a house in which Quinn and members of theBalcombe Street Gang were later found to have been preparingbombs. The unarmed Tibble chased Quinn on his motorbike and, while attempting to stop him, was fatally shot twice in the chest.^[3]

After his release in 1978 he returned to his hometown ofSan Francisco but was arrested in 1981 and later extradited to England in February 1988 where he was convicted ofmurder and jailed for life with a recommended minimum term of 35 years.
