Police have charged an Auckland man with the manslaughter of
his friend who was shot dead with an airgun during a drinking
session.
Shaun Townsley was killed on January 12 when he and friends
were drinking in the backyard of a Manurewa home and shooting
targets off a fence.
In a statement this afternoon, Counties Manukau police said
they had charged an 18 year old man with manslaughter.
He will appear in the Manukau District Court tomorrow.
