A British medical marijuana grower will appear before a Californian court on Thursday charged with murdering an employee of a shadowy organisation for the rich and powerful.

Andrew Brian Sharkey, 36, described in court documents as an English citizen, is accused of strangling 67-year-old Michael Van Tillman in a garage which housed the legal marijuana business.

Mr Tillman, who lived in a flat attached to the premises in Guerneville, worked for the nearby Bohemian Grove - a secretive organisation, membership of which has consisted of some of the world's most powerful people. He was murdered on June 25 after being strangled by a wire.
