In what police are referring to as an "internal cleansing" of a biker gang, five people have been charged with first-degree murder in the slayings of eight men in southwestern Ontario.

The victims, whose bodies were found in a farmer's field near Shedden, and one of the suspects are all linked to the Bandidos outlaw biker gang, Ontario Provincial Police confirmed Monday.

Police said the men had all been shot, and Det. Insp. Paul Beesley said they may have been killed in several locations.
