'Twas A Banjo What Killed James Brown
2009-09-19
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.

#3  Don't worry folks. I only use my banjo for playing music (Ode plectrum banjo). So if you visit, please, please, be at ease. You will only hear music, and you won't see stars. Promise.

#2  He met the man in a bar in another country, then followed him home? Is that common?
