The Hungarian tourist who killed a Kiwi pensioner by ramming a banjo into his mouth has been deported.
Ferdinand Ambach was convicted of manslaughter in May 2009 -- killing 69-year-old Auckland man Ronald Brown in brutal fashion.
Mr Ambach went on trial for murder but was convicted of manslaughter after saying he was provoked into the attack by an unwanted sexual advance.
After serving eight years of a 12-year sentence, Mr Ambach has been deported back to Hungary with a decision by the New Zealand Parole Board declaring he is "ashamed of his behaviour and shows genuine remorse".
Mr Ambach, who was on a tourist visa, was drinking with Mr Brown on December 7, 2007, at a suburban Auckland bar before they went to Mr Brown's Onehunga flat.
