A 72-year-old man has been sentenced for manslaughter over a 50-year-old cold case.
Benjamin Jansen was charged with murder over the 1972 death of Rex Kable Keen in Brisbane.
Mr Keen was struck at least 12 times with a camera in a Brisbane hotel room before being left for dead.
The Brisbane Supreme Court heard that Jansen met Mr Keen while out drinking in Brisbane in August of 1972 before being invited back to Mr Keen’s hotel room to eat.
Jansen claimed that he believed Mr Keen was gay or bisexual after he was asked to “pay for the meal with his body” and to take some photographs for Mr Keen.
