The accused was found guilty of manslaughter by a jury after fatally stabbing an unarmed, inebriated victim.
The jury rejected the accused's claim of self-defence.
The sentencing judge found that the accused had a safe avenue of escape and used excessive force, but noted mitigating factors including the accused's youth, lack of prior record, remorse, and an element of provocation by the victim.
The accused was sentenced to 6 years' imprisonment, less credit for pre-trial custody.
