An 11-year-old Australian boy has been found guilty of manslaughter after a trial failed to convict him of murder for his part in a gang killing.

The unnamed child stood a two-week trial at Perth Children’s Court where it was shown that the boy was the youngest member of a group that killed 26-year-old Patrick Slater. The killing occurred after a series of fights between Slater’s friends and the group after an Australia Day celebration on Jan. 27, 2016, ABC reports.
