Their victim was grandfather and father-of-three Michael Mammone, an acquaintance of McEachran's friend.
The woman told Mammone she dropped her drugs and needed him to help find them. Mammone got out of his car and was set upon by McEachran who demanded his keys. There was a scuffle and the woman, who later went to police to confess her part in the set-up, said she heard Mammone being hit across the legs with a large knife or stick. His hands were then cable-tied together.
McEachran pleaded guilty to manslaughter and armed robbery, and was on Tuesday jailed by Victorian Supreme Court Justice Elizabeth Hollingworth for nine years and nine months.
