Father-of-one Jack Davis, 30, was kidnapped and murdered last February in remote bush off the Wairakau Track, 14km north of Kaeo in Northland. Wayne Bracken, 35, and Neville Dangen, 24, have been on trial in the Whangarei High Court for kidnapping and murdering Davis. After seven weeks of evidence, and six hours of deliberation, the jury delivered a guilty verdict for Bracken. Dangen was found not guilty. Jack's mother Zelma Davis, of Mangere, told the Herald on Sunday of her horror at hearing how his limbs were hog-tied before he was driven into the bush where he was murdered with a thistle grubber.
She heard how Bracken emerged smiling from the bush "dripping with blood", before stripping to his underwear to burn his clothes. "It was devastating," Zelma said. "We learnt a lot of things about what happened to my son during the trial. It wasn't easy, we were shocked." Zelma said she stared at her son's killer who showed no remorse as he whistled, sang and pulled hand signals at her family. "He is one hell of an evil man who doesn't deserve to be in society with anyone else. He is all for himself, he doesn't care, he has no heart or soul."
