His son was among those who supported him in court.

It was earlier alleged Mr Martyn knew Ms Potter and fled to a nearby property after fatally striking her that night.

Friends paid tribute to the beloved mother, understood to have worked at family store Traralgon West Nursery, on social media.

“My beautiful friend,” wrote one.

“I will miss you beyond words, it doesn’t make any sense to have you gone.”
