A 44-year-old man who failed to notify authorities of the death a Chinese student in Hobart has avoided going to prison.

John Edward Mollineaux last week pleaded guilty to one charge of failing to report a killing.

The charge followed the death of Zhang Yu at New Town in June.

In the Supreme Court in Hobart today Mollineaux received a six month suspended sentence.
