Man faces court over WA hit and run death

A 23-YEAR-OLD man has made a brief appearance in a Perth court over the hit and run death of a Sudanese man on the weekend.

Luke David Taylor has been charged with a string of offences over the death of William Maker, 29, who was originally from Sudan and spent years in a Kenyan refugee camp.

It is alleged Mr Maker was waiting at a bus stop in Merriwa, in Perth's outer-northern suburbs, on Saturday when he signalled for Taylor to slow down.

But instead, Taylor allegedly drove around a roundabout several times and struck Mr Maker as he drove back up the road, throwing him over the vehicle and onto the road.

Mr Maker was taken to Royal Perth Hospital but later died from his injuries.

Taylor was arrested up by police at a house in nearby Quinns Rocks.

He has been charged with manslaughter, no authority to drive, failing to stop after a traffic incident causing bodily harm, and failing to report an incident occasioning death or grievous bodily harm.

Taylor appeared in Perth Magistrates Court on Monday but was not required to plead to the charges.

He was remanded in custody until his next court date in Stirling Gardens Magistrates Court on May 1.

Mr Maker's family and friends were also in court to hear the matter.
