Kelly Friday, 29, was sentenced to 12 years in prison for manslaughter over the death of his uncle, Selwyn Mannix. <\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

The incident occurred on September 11, 2021, at Point Wharf, when Mannix confronted Friday over a $50 debt, attacking him with a seven-foot wattle stick. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In self-defense, Friday stabbed his uncle six times. <\/p>

Despite his injuries, including a swollen head, thigh injury, and broken hand, Friday’s defense attorneys, Wendel Alexander and Wayne Marsh, argued for acquittal. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The jury convicted him of manslaughter instead of murder, acknowledging the provocation and sparing him a life sentence.<\/p>
