An Airbnb host has admitted killing a guest at his home near Melbourne, Australia, who could not afford to pay for his accommodation.
The 42-year-old host is on trial in the Supreme Court of Victoria and has pleaded guilty to the manslaughter of his guest in October 2017.
A court heard the guest was attacked by three men, including the Airbnb host, for not paying the A$210 (US$148) he owed for accommodation he requested after the initial booking.
In an earlier statement carried by the BBC, Airbnb said it was "deeply saddened and outraged" by what had happened, and that it had removed the listing from its site.
"There is no place on Airbnb for such an abhorrent act, which violates everything our global community stands for," the company said.
