Barely an hour after Thompson kicked in the home's door, the father - Michael Menzel - was declared dead with a shotgun wound.

Mr Menzel's 13-year-old daughter was present when Thompson and three others burst into the home south of Brisbane in the early hours in October 2019.

Each intruder had a Halloween mask and a weapon, with Thompson brandishing a sawn off shotgun.

His co-offenders had a bat, a hammer and a machete while another waited in a vehicle outside.

The daughter was awoken by their entry before a co-offender came into her room and took her phone and tablet.

Then she heard a gun fire - and her father scream.

The intruders fled and the girl found Mr Menzel in a puddle of blood.

He was treated at the scene for about an hour by paramedics but died from a shotgun wound to the thigh.

As they drove away, Thompson was asked by a co-offender where he had shot Mr Menzel.

"In the leg, she'll be right," he replied.

Days before the attack, a "fuming" Thompson hatched the home invasion plan hours after a confrontation with Mr Menzel about a drug debt.

He recruited four co-offenders and bought disguises and weapons for the attack to get "all the money and gear" from Mr Menzel's home.

"You told ...(a co-offender) that you were on a mission to get somebody, that you were planning a home invasion-style offence to teach someone a lesson for treating you like a goose," Justice Sean Cooper said in Brisbane Supreme Court on Wednesday.

Masks, costumes and equipment to restrain people including cable ties were purchased.

Registration plates were stolen for the vehicle used in the attack.

On the drive to Mr Menzel's house, Thompson gave directions to the others and ordered them to put on masks and gloves.

"Mr Thompson was the instigator and organiser and involved in every stage of the plan," crown prosecutor David Nardone said.

After Thompson kicked in the door, a 40-year-old housemate was struck in the head with a hammer.

Thompson got into a struggle with Mr Menzel and the weapon accidentally discharged, the defence barrister said.

The intruders fled the home with Thompson later ordering a co-offender to burn their getaway vehicle.

Thompson fled interstate but was later extradited from NSW.

Thompson, 33, had a difficult upbringing and been exposed to drug use, violence and sexual abuse, the court heard.

He pleaded guilty to a number of charges including manslaughter and was sentenced to 10 years in jail.

A serious violent offence order was declared, ensuring Thompson must serve 80 per cent of his sentence before he is eligible for parole.

Thompson's 1317 days of pre-sentence custody were declared time served.
