‘Croc bait’ abductor back in court

A CONVICTED criminal who played sidekick in a horrific abduction last year, in which the victim thought he would be fed to crocodiles, reappeared briefly in the Supreme Court on Thursday

A CONVICTED criminal who played sidekick in a horrific abduction last year, in which the victim thought he would be fed to crocodiles, reappeared briefly in the Supreme Court on Thursday.

Scott Bray was convicted of deprivation of liberty in August last year, after he and his mate Ian Shoebridge abducted Donald Campbell and drove him around the northern suburbs blindfolded.

Shoebridge told Campbell he would be taken to Adelaide River, where Campbell feared he would be fed to crocodiles.

Bray yesterday appeared after he confessed to his probation officer he had breached a condition of his suspended sentence by drinking a light beer last month. Among other conditions, Bray was banned from drugs and alcohol while serving his suspended sentence. Justice Stephen Southwood found the breach proven, but took no action.
