British backpacker in Australia pleads guilty to killing man while drunk on e-scooter

# A British backpacker who was in Western Australia on a working holiday visa, has pleaded guilty to killing a man after hitting him while riding an e-scooter with an alcohol level more than three times the legal limit. The 25-year old Alicia Kemp and a friend hired an e-scooter after being kicked out of a bar for being drunk. She hit 51-year-old Thanh Phan in Perth’s city centre. The father-of-two hit his head on the pavement and died in hospital two days later. Kemp will remain in custody until her sentencing.
