The offender was convicted of manslaughter for stabbing his half-brother during a fist fight.
The deceased initiated the physical altercation, but the offender escalated it by using a knife.
The court found the offender's actions were primarily for self-defence but disproportionate.
Considering the offender's remorse, the context of the fight, and the need for denunciation and individual deterrence, the court imposed a sentence of 6 years incarceration.
After applying credit for pre-sentence custody, the net sentence was 15 months, followed by 3 years of probation.
