Mr Papo mistakenly believed his Korean girlfriend was being made to work as a pro
from here
A Melbourne court has heard a brothel worker offered the family of a man he killed $20,000 in hush money.
Abraham Papo, 28, was bludgeoned to death with a tyre lever outside Madam Leona's brothel in South Melbourne in 2009.
De Jun Zheng, 37, is on trial for murder.
The court heard Mr Papo mistakenly believed his Korean girlfriend was being made to work as a prostitute against her will.
The jury was told he went to the brothel demanding to know where she was, before he punched Zheng and fled the premises.
Zheng then allegedly ran after Mr Papo and beat him up to six times with a tyre lever as he sat in his car.
The prosecution told the court the next day Zheng offered $20,000 in hush money to Mr Papo's family.
Zheng maintains he acted in self-defence.
The trial continues.

Mel's secret? A change of clothes, some fake tan, an Instagram filter and some gut sucking. Here is her explanation:
"Firstly I ditched the phonewallet cause that s**t is lame, swapped my bather bottoms to blacks (cause they're a size bigger and black is slimming), smothered on some fake tan, clipped in my hair extensions, stood up a bit taller, sucked in my guts, popped my hip, threw in a skinny arm, stood a bit wider, pulled my shoulders back and added a bit of a cheeky I'm so proud of my results smile. Zoomed in on the before pic - zoomed out on the after and added a filter."
That's it. No secret weight loss formula. Not even any exercise.

Canberra man who tricked prostitute into sex fights rape charge
here
"A Canberra man who tricked a prostitute into having sex with him will argue in court that it technically was not rape.
It is alleged Akis Livas, 50, stuffed an envelope with fake money and used it to pay for a prostitute's services in 2010.
The woman did not realise she had been tricked until after she had had sex with him, when she opened the envelope and found only folded up paper and a card with a rose on it.
She reported the incident to police and Livas was charged with sexual intercourse without consent. He pleaded guilty to the charge in court three years ago.
But since then, and under the guidance of his lawyer Paul Edmonds, Livas has decided to fight the charge on the grounds that the woman did consent to the sex.
At the initial hearing, Mr Edmonds attempted to explain the argument by giving the example of a husband offering to buy his wife a fur coat in exchange for sex but then never making good on his promise.
He said that if every man who lied to get sex was guilty of rape, then Australia would need five times the number of prisons.
They will argue that a fraudulent misrepresentation is not within the legal scope of what Livas is alleged to have done.
Today in the ACT Supreme Court, Acting Chief Justice Richard Refshauge approved the application to reverse Livas's guilty plea.
Acting Chief Justice Refshauge said it was not the role of the Supreme Court to decide the merits of the argument at this early stage.
The matter will now return to the ACT Magistrates Court for argument.
Speaking outside court Mr Edmonds said Livas has now offered to pay the sex worker back and that he would plead guilty to a lesser charge of making off without payment."

UK arranged marriages: Kidnapping, rape and murder in the name of family honour
Article
"We have kidnappings, abductions, assaults, sexual offences. Anything that you can imagine could happen, does happen, in the name of honour," says Nazir Afzal, Crown Prosecutor for the north-west of England.
Ms Sanghera recalls an occasion when a girl feared she was being taken abroad against her will. "The call handler said, 'Put a spoon in your knickers. When you go through security it will go off and at that point you're going to be stopped by a security guard and say I'm being forced to marry.' Which is exactly what she did, and it saved her life."
