A tourist who killed a man with a banjo after he received unwanted sexual advances has been sentenced to 12 years imprisonment, with a minimum non-parole period of eight years.
Ferdinand Ambach, a Hungarian tourist, will be deported from New Zealand following the conclusion of his sentence.
Ambach was drinking with Ronald James Brown, on December 7, 2007, at a suburban Auckland bar before they went to Mr Brown's Onehunga flat.
A violent argument erupted and Mr Brown, 69, was bashed repeatedly with a banjo before the neck of the instrument was rammed down his throat. |
