Alan James FaheyThe family of Alan Fahey say he was a gentle, caring man, and his killer is a gutless coward who needs to be locked up. Jason Blackler (48) was found guilty yesterday of the manslaughter of Alan Fahey in Dunedin on October 25, 2016. Members of Mr Fahey's extended family had sat through the trial. It was ''absolutely'' the right decision, Mr Fahey's niece Ngarita Webster said outside the courthouse afterwards as the family described a gentle and kind man. We knew he was an alcoholic and could antagonise people, but he was a good man,'' Mr Fahey's older sister said of her brother.
