Man protected cousin who stabbed him before dying

A young man described as a "peacemaker" by loved ones refused to tell police his cousin stabbed him before dying from the wounds, a judge has told a court.

Shelby Stanley was handed a six-year prison sentence and three-year non-parole period on Friday, after he was found guilty of the manslaughter of his step-cousin Bradley Stanley.

The 24-year-old died on January 3, 2021 after losing blood from a stabbing wound on the right side of his abdomen caused by Stanley outside a Wellington home in central west NSW.
