A jealous man killed a former close friend after being driven "crazy" over his girlfriend's affair with him.

Following his release from prison for an armed robbery, Shaun Baensch heard rumours about his girlfriend's relationship with Bryce Trower.

He tried to chase Mr Trower, but the 31-year-old rode away on his e-scooter.

With his girlfriend seated next to him, Baensch returned on December 11, 2023, and followed Mr Trower down his street in the Geelong suburb of Norlane.

"Don't be an idiot, just keep driving," Baensch's girlfriend told him, according to court documents.

He replied: "That's Bryce, I should get out and hit him".

Baensch then deliberately drove his Holden Rodeo ute into Mr Trower, who was riding a Segway Ninebot e-scooter near his home on Forster Street.
