The remote Aboriginal community of Yuendumu has welcomed the coroner who is investigating the police shooting death of Kumanjayi Walker with a ceremony, song and sorrow.
Constable Zachary Rolfe shot and killed 19-year-old Walker during a bungled arrest at a home in Yuendumu in November 2019. Rolfe was charged with Walker's murder four days after the shooting and acquitted in March following a supreme court trial.
