Man Sentenced To Jail Over 2018 Death Of Angry Anderson's Son

Liam Anderson was 26 years old.

A Sydney man who was charged over the death of Liam Anderson, the youngest son of Rose Tattoo frontman Angry Anderson, has today been sentenced to eight years in jail.

As ABC reports, Mathew Flame has been found guilty of manslaughter following the fatal bashing of Liam Anderson back in 2018.

Flame, who was reportedly under the influence of alcohol, cannabis and MDMA on the night of the incident, was found not guilty of murder on mental health grounds.

Back in 2018, it was reported that Flame and Anderson allegedly got into a fight at Pavilion Park in Sydney, with emergency services arriving during the incident. Anderson passed away from head injuries while being airlifted to hospital.

Prior to his death at 26 years of age, Liam Anderson was a musician, performing around Sydney as a hip hop artist under the moniker Ranford Bigsby.
