A Sydney man allegedly stole another man’s iPhone before running him over and killing him, police allege in court documents.
Yousseffe Ramadan was refused bail after he was charged with manslaughter for the alleged hit-and-run in Sydney’s west over the weekend.
According to court documents, Ramadan allegedly stole Ming Hui Zhao’s Apple iPhone 15 before running over him with his ute and killing him.
44-year-old Mr Zhao was pronounced dead on Friday night after he was allegedly dragged along a residential street in the Centenary Park Estate in Homebush West around 8pm, leaving residents “shocked and sickened”.
According to court documents, Mr Zhao reached into Ramadan’s Black Mitsubishi Triton to retrieve his mobile phone and ran alongside the vehicle holding onto it.
He then allegedly held onto the ute for 10 to 15 metres before he fell from the moving vehicle and hit the ground, before being hit by the rear driver side wheel.
Ramadan allegedly left the scene without stopping to render assistance to Mr Zhao despite knowing he had hit him.
Following inquiries, police searched a home at Fuller St, Chester Hill, and arrested 37 year-old Ramadan on Sunday.
He was taken to Bankstown Police Station and charged with manslaughter, dangerous driving occasioning death – drive manner dangerous, fail to stop and assist after vehicle impact causing death and larceny.
On Monday, Ramadan’s lawyer made no application for release and therefore his bail was formally refused by the magistrate.
He did not appear before the court both in person or via audio-visual link and is set to face Burwood Local Court next year on January 17.
Locals told the Saturday Telegraph how they tried to assist the man before hoards of emergency services arrived. However, he could not be revived.
