17-year-old boy charged with killing nurse while riding an e-bike, as father claims he has no control over him
A 17-year-old boy has been charged with manslaughter after allegedly killing a 59-year-old nurse from Perth while riding an unregistered electric motorbike. Police allege the teenager was riding recklessly through the northern suburbs before the fatal collision. The boy, who cannot be identified for legal reasons, is accused of hitting the nurse while riding an e-bike recklessly. Officers had reportedly attempted to stop the teen just five minutes before the fatal crash. The court heard one of the rider's tyres was damaged from travelling at high speed, causing him to lose control multiple times - but he still refused to stop. The prosecutor said the teen's dangerous behaviour began after he stopped taking prescribed medication, choosing instead to self-medicate with cannabis - which police later found in his bag. It was also revealed the boy has ADHD and autism and is currently on an NDIS plan. The court was told his parents are separated, he no longer attends school, and that his father had 'absolutely no control over his behaviour.' The teen is reportedly displaying obsessive compulsive behaviour in custody, frequently cleaning and mopping floors at the detention centre. Detective Sergeant Ollie Edwards said: 'We have seen various instances of e-rideables or electric motorcycles or similar involved in fatal crashes in Perth recently.' Police confirmed others were present in the park at the time and are appealing for anyone who saw the crash or has footage of the bike to come forward. Anyone with information is urged to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.
