A BALLARAT man charged with killing a man in Darley last year will face a committal hearing in Melbourne in December. Tai Sharp, 21, who is currently in custody for previous matters, appeared briefly in Melbourne Magistrates Court on Wednesday for a committal mention hearing. Sharp was charged with manslaughter on May 19. The victim, a 35-year-old Bacchus Marsh man, was found dead outside a home in Darley last June. Sharp's legal counsel, Jeremy Harper, told The Courier in May that Sharp would contest the charge. Sharp was remanded on Wednesday and will reappear in Melbourne Magistrates Court on December 11.
