A man who accidentally shot his friend dead while posing for 'gangster' selfies with a sawn-off shotgun has been jailed.

Albert Rapovski, 20, was high on the party drug GHB and hadn't slept for four days when he blasted pal Mohammed Hassan in the head from close range.

The pair were posing for pictures and videos with the deadly weapon at a motel in Melbourne, Australia, when it suddenly went off.
