Brother died following Kings Cross scrap MINUTES after becoming involved in a tussle between Kings Cross security guards and his brother, Wilson Duque Castillo lay motionless on a street. The 33-year-old died in December 2010 after he became embroiled in the confrontation involving a number of security guards - including ex-NRL star John Hopoate and the bodyguard of Kings Cross identity John Ibrahim - outside the Trademark Hotel. One of the guards, Lynn Matia, 38, has pleaded not guilty to the 33-year-old's manslaughter. In the opening day of his trial on Thursday, the Downing Centre District Court heard that earlier that night Wilson and his brother Wilmer had been out with two colleagues, drinking schooners around the late-night strip. A tussle broke out some time after 10.30 pm when Wilmer and one of Wilson's colleagues, Miguel Gill, were refused entry at the Trademark. A security guard told them to leave, before pushing him, Wilmer told the jury. "I said to him, 'Don't touch me', and I showed him my (paint) scraper," he said, adding the metal tool was in a pocket on the outside of his shorts. He pushed me away and he pushed Miguel, I started going backwards. I saw Miguel on the ground. Wilmer said that when he picked up a nearby chair, five or six security guards came towards him. At this point, his brother got involved. Crown prosecutor Craig Everson said the situation escalated as security guards, including Matia, moved the group down the street. Hopoate then tackled and struck him and dragged him from one side of the street to another. In giving evidence Wilmer said "I swung my belt a couple of times telling them not to get close to me." "I remember they were making sounds ... like 'Ha, ha, ha'," adding it was like a "hard, breathing-out sound." Wilmer alleged that as they were chased down the street his brother came over to him and grabbed the paint scraper from his pocket. "He ran to the left side," he said. "After that did you see him again," Mr Everson asked. "No," Wilmer replied. The crown alleges Matia punched Wilson in the head. Almost two weeks later, on December 30, he was pronounced dead at St Vincent de Paul's Hospital.
