“It’s devastating and bad for the victim’s family,” Inspector Shane Ranee said at a press conference yesterday.

Harding was a kickboxer who had trained tirelessly and notched his first amateur win this time last year.

His family have not yet commented on his death.

The man behind the wheel of the ute left the scene yesterday, prompting an almost 24-hour search for him and a police appeal for information.
