The family of Kumanjayi Walker and Yuendumu Elders condemned the not guilty verdict, handed down by the jury, in the murder trial of police officer Zachary Rolfe on March 11.
Kumanjayi Walker was killed on November 9, 2019 in Yuendumu, a town with a population of less than 800 people about 300 kilometres north-west of Alice Springs, in the Northern Territory. Constable Zachary Rolfe was committed to trial in 2020, the first police officer to stand trial for murder since the Royal Commission into Aboriginal Deaths in Custody in 1991.
