Nineteen-year-old Jayden Cale Delany from Langford faced the Supreme Court today on a murder charge.
Mr Delany pleaded guilty to manslaughter when the state prosecutor downgraded his charge.
Mr Beeston died after he was stabbed during a brawl outside the Bunbury Sports Centre on Saturday March 2 last year.
Police and paramedics were called to the centre in the early hours of Saturday morning after Mr Beeston was found to have suffered a single stab wound to the chest.
Mr Beeston was rushed to Bunbury Regional Hospital but later died from his injuries.
According to South West Detective Jon Munday the fight broke out after two groups met at the centre in order to “settle something”.
Mr Delany was first charged with grievous bodily harm until the charge was upgraded to murder.
Supreme Court justice Stephen Hall remanded Mr Delany in custody to be sentenced on July 5.
