The Brisbane Court of Appeal on Tuesday quashed William Francis Dean's murder conviction but substituted it with a manslaughter conviction after finding there was no intention to kill Mr Barker.
Dean's co-accused Stephen Armitage and Matthew Armitage previously successfully appealed their convictions, with the court quashing murder convictions but handing down a guilty verdict for manslaughter.
All three men were also previously convicted of torture, but will now be retried.
