A man found guilty of the manslaughter of a Mangawhai toddler has been sentenced to seven years and three months in prison.
Aaron Archer was accused of murdering his former girlfriend's 2-year-old daughter, Ariah Dawn Roberts, in August last year.
She was left in Archer's care while her mother went to the shop.
During that time, Ariah was struck with such force in the head that it caused a catastrophic brain injury and she fell into unconsciousness.
