Trial Begins For Men Accused Of Killing Gay Man In Florida

On dirt road that leads to Wahneta, Florida a driver made the ghastly discovery of a bloody body stabbed to death sitting on the side of the road. The date was Wednesday, March 14, 2007 at about 1:20AM.

That dead man was Ryan Keith Skipper, 25, a gay man. The trials of his accused murders – William David Brown Jr., 22, and Joseph Bearden, 23 – begin today, after several delays, as lawyers begin selecting a jury in a Polk County courtroom, reports The Ledger.

The pair were arrested soon after Skipper’s body was found and have remained in custody over the past two years.

Details of what happened between the three men remain sketchy. Family and friends hope the trial will shed light on Skipper’s final hours.

`Neo-Nazi’ beliefs behind Asian, gay murders

A white supremacist convicted of killing Korean backpacker Jae Hyeon Kim was also responsible for the murder of a homosexual Westport man in 1999 and will now spend at least 25 years behind bars.

Hayden Brent McKenzie, 31, appeared for sentencing in the High Court at Wellington yesterday after earlier admitting murdering Kim at Charleston, near Westport, in September or October 2003. McKenzie’s name suppression was lifted yesterday, but Justice Simon France made an order preventing publication of images of McKenzie or any description of his appearance.

The lifting of suppression means it can be revealed that in 2004 McKenzie was convicted and was four years into a life sentence for his part in the murder of James John (Janis) Bambrough in 1999 at Westport.

Yesterday, the judge sentenced McKenzie to another life sentence, this time with a non-parole period of 21 years.
