A traumatised witness has recounted the moments an armed thug held a gun to a prominent Kiwi businessman’s temple before his wife was fatally struck by a fleeing car outside a California mall. Patricia (Trish) McKay, 68, was at Newport Beach, California with her husband, well-known Auckland businessman Doug McKay, when the pair were accosted by two men at the upmarket Fashion Island on Wednesday. She died at the scene after being run over during a struggle in a botched robbery attempt, while her husband escaped uninjured.
A witness, who wished to remain anonymous, told the Herald she was nearly a metre away from where the Kiwi couple were “violently assaulted” and is “deeply regretful” for not intervening..
