Members of the “Nazi-based” Fourth Reich demanded money and silence from the mother of one of the men accused of murdering a homeless gay man in 1999, the High Court in Greymouth was told yesterday. Westport mother Trish Lee, whose son, Hayden Brent McKenzie, has been jointly charged with murdering James Bamborough, said she paid the money and kept quiet about the murder because she feared the gang would harm her family.
