John Kenneth Collins (39) is on trial before the High Court at Dunedin accused of the murder of the 45-year-old. Bacon's sister Lia Bezett said she had agreed to house her brother after a desperate plea he made by text messages in 2018. Her husband kicked down the door at Lock St and found the bloody scene.
