The Perth obstetrician who killed a young woman while driving drunk and dangerously will learn his fate today, with his sentencing hearing underway in the Supreme Court of Western Australia.
Rhys Bellinge, 46, has pleaded guilty to unlawfully killing Elizabeth Pearce, 24, who was a passenger in an Uber ride when the vehicle was struck by Bellinge, who was travelling in his Jaguar at 130km/h on a suburban Dalkeith road on February 15 last year.
He admitted the crash occurred after he had driven to his family home, where he was no longer living due to a recent separation from his wife.
His car dashcam captured what he was saying while parked outside the house.
“F–k you, f–k you, you piece of s–t, that is my house, it is my house,” he ranted angrily in footage played to the court this morning.
“My house, it’s my house you b–ch. You’re robbing me, f–k you, f–k you … You take from me, and you don’t give … You’re nothing to me. You mean nothing to me.”
Bellinge then speeds away and is heard on the dashcam screaming “Yeah, how about you f–king hurry up then c–tface … move over you f–khead. Yeh, then what?, you pu–y d-ck, f–k you, f–k that b–ch” before the vehicle crashes.
Bellinge is crying in the dock as the footage is played.
Our court reporter, Rebecca Peppiatt is in court for the sentencing hearing and will bring you the latest once Bellinge’s sentence is handed down.
