Former couple guilty of WA manslaughter

A former couple have been found guilty of killing a convicted drug dealer in Perth.

Paulo Nunzio Stagno, 30, and Danielle Kovac, 28, had been on trial in the WA Supreme Court over the shooting death of Mite Naumovski in September, 2011.

The pair lured the 38-year-old to a house after a dispute over a drug debt.

They claimed Stagno acted in self-defence when he shot Mr Naumovski in the head.

Mr Naumovski's body was found in the back of a car less than two weeks after he disappeared with six gunshot wounds.

A jury on Tuesday acquitted the pair of murder but found them both guilty of manslaughter.
