US man pleads guilty to killing Nassar

An Idaho man who struck and killed Australian satirist Leslie Nassar with his utility vehicle will be sentenced in May after pleading guilty to vehicular manslaughter.

The 20-year-old Tristian Myers pleaded guilty in the October death of Nassar.

Nassar had been living in the small south-western Idaho city of Nampa with his family when he was struck by Myers' vehicle.

Police said Myers left the scene and later called to report a hit-and-run and confessed when interviewed.

Nassar, who was the man behind Q&A's on-screen Twitter stream as well as a significant part of the ABC podcast network had his daughters with him at the time of the incident and was pronounced dead on arrival at hospital.
