Wade Edward Niania was also disqualified from driving for three years and six months after his release from prison.

Niania of Titahi Bay, pleaded guilty to manslaughter, kidnapping, disqualified driving, and having methamphetamine intending to supply it, Stuff reported.

Ula, 19, died in hospital two days after an incident in which Niania tried to rip him off when Ula of Wiri, Auckland tried to sell him methamphetamine which might have been worth $40,000 if bought in bulk.
