The sister of a father-of-two killed in a hit-and-run in has made an emotional plea to the person responsible to hand themselves in.
Bryce Airs was knocked down late on Saturday night as he walked home from the pub after celebrating a new job.
‘It is heartbreaking to watch your parents lose a child,’ Corina Stuchbree said.

‘Even if they called anonymously and got him some help, I think that was the least he deserved.
‘He was doing the right thing and not driving. He was doing the right thing and unfortunately someone has taken that away from him,’ she added.
Around 11pm on Saturday night Mr Airs left the Courthouse Hotel in Jamieson in Victoria and decided to walk home.

He was hit in the road, about half a kilometer into his one kilometer journey, and was found crawling and bleeding, but alive in the road.
His internal injuries were so severed he died as paramedics tried to save him.
In the press conference with Mr Airs’s sister, Detective Acting Senior Sergeant Stephen Hill said: ‘If you stop immediately, and render assistance, call emergency services, it increases the likelihood that the victim – not only in this case but in all cases – would survive.’
Mr Airs was an election with two young daughters, and with no witnesses or clues left behind, police hope that someone’s guilty conscience will force them to hand themselves in.
