Hungarian tourist killed gay man with banjo, court told
Wellington – A Hungarian tourist killed a 69-year-old gay man he met in a bar by beating him with a banjo and ramming the handle down his throat, police alleged when his murder trial opened in Auckland on Monday. Ferdinand Ambach, 32, a dive master, pleaded not guilty in the Auckland High Court to murdering Ronald James Brown in December 2007. Prosecutor Nick Williams told the court that Ambach had been in New Zealand a month when the pair met in a bar before going back to Brown’s flat in the Auckland suburb of Onehunga, the New Zealand Herald reported on its website.
