Sydney man found guilty of manslaughter

A man accused of stabbing a car owner to death after chasing him up a Sydney street while demanding the vehicle's keys has been cleared of murder but found guilty of manslaughter.
Barmah Rossi-Murray pleaded not guilty in the NSW Supreme Court to the murder of 48-year-old Matthew Shepherd, who was stabbed in his upper back and chest in Schofields, in the city's northwest, in July 2016.
The jury heard evidence that the then-27-year-old Rossi-Murray demanded the keys to Mr Shepherd's older model Holden Commodore before pursuing him up a street.
On Friday, the jury found him not guilty of murder but guilty of manslaughter and Justice Stephen Rothman adjourned the case to February 4 for a sentence hearing.
Bradley James Byrnes also had been on trial accused of being an accessory after the fact.
But on November 6, on the judge's direction, the jury found him not guilty.
