Episode Details

The family of Kumanjayi White, a 24-year-old Aboriginal man who died in police custody in Alice Springs in May 2025, is taking legal action after being told no charges would be filed against the officers involved — just before the one-year anniversary of his death. Seeking answers under the Victims of Crime Charter, they’ve filed a court case demanding transparency on why charges were dropped and pushing for a review. Frustrated by a lack of accountability, they’ve long demanded an independent investigation, which police and prosecutors have refused to grant — even withholding CCTV footage. With an inquest set for April 2027, the family’s legal bid aims to expose the decision-making behind the decision not to prosecute and hold the system accountable.
