A man accused of murdering a woman by running her down in a car before fleeing the scene has faced court.
Police allege Charles Evans, 44, murdered Alicia Little, 42, out the front of her home in Kyneton on Thursday afternoon.
Detective acting Sergeant Leigh Smyth told the court police went to the LavendersLane property about 3.45pm following reports of a domestic violence incident.
The court heard Ms Little made a desperate call for help to police in the moments before she died.
Mr Smyth said when police arrived they found an Ms Little unconscious in the front yard of her home.
He said paramedics attempted to revive her but she died at the scene.
Police allege an autopsy conducted overnight revealed Ms Little died of blunt force trauma consistent with being struck by a motor vehicle.
The court heard Mr Evans allegedly fled the scene after hitting Ms Little with a car but returned hours later at 5.30pm.
He was kept in police custody overnight and charged with one count of murder on Friday afternoon.
Mr Evans appeared confused throughout the hearing.
At one point, Magistrate John Doherty asked if he understood the court process and if he had spoken to a lawyer.
"I've never been in trouble before and I don't know what to do," he responded.
"I spoke to a solicitor on the phone. I wanted to speak about everything but my solicitor told me to hold off."
The Kyneton resident was remanded in custody and ordered to reappear at Bendigo Magistrates Court on January 2.
