An arrest warrant has been issued for a woman who allegedly killed her sister in a horror hit-run crash at Sunshine last year, after she failed to show up to court.

Asyai Luk, 22, was due to front the Melbourne Magistrates’ Court on Tuesday as she faces charges including dangerous driving causing death.

Her sister, Anong Luk, was killed on November 7 after she was allegedly “kicked out” of a car following a fight with her younger sister.

According to police, she tried to re-enter the vehicle but Ms Luk, who was behind the wheel, took off.

Anong was dragged by the moving car before it collided with a white Jeep parked nearby, causing her head to strike the tow bar.

Ms Luk then allegedly drove off, claiming she did not know her sister was injured until she was arrested at her Brookfield home five hours later.

Anong Luk was tragically killed in a hit-run on November 7.

Anong, 24, was rushed to the Royal Melbourne Hospital with serious head injuries but later died.

Ms Luk was bailed last year but on Tuesday failed to appear at court for a scheduled committal mention, with her defence lawyer also not appearing.

Prosecutor Rebekah Fleming said a receptionist at the defence lawyer’s firm confirmed on March 7 it was acting for Ms Luk.

Magistrate Brett Sonnet asked Ms Fleming whether she was seeking a warrant, to which she responded: “Yes, Your Honour.”

“There’s no correspondence on the file to explain the absence,” Mr Sonnet said.

“A warrant of apprehension is issued.”

Ms Luk was comforted by grieving family at her sibling’s funeral in early December, as devastated friends and family – many from Melbourne’s tight-knit South Sudanese community – gathering to bid farewell to Anong.

During the service, mourners sang together while relatives paid tribute to the young woman who had aspirations to become a lawyer.

One woman described Anong as “beautiful inside and out”.

“Always putting others first, she was kind and compassionate,” she said.

Anong was laid to rest in Maddingley General Cemetery, with Ms Luk holding a relative’s hand while her mother Aleza Gwit sobbed after the casket was lowered into the ground.

On social media, Ms Gwit posted a picture of her eldest daughter captioned: “My heart is bleeding.”
