The Latest Breaking News from Zachary Rolfe

A police officer who shot dead an Indigenous teenager in during an outback arrest has been sacked by the Northern Territory Police Force.

Northern Territory police officer Zachary Rolfe who shot dead an Indigenous teen in a botched outback arrest in 2019 has been sacked.

The inquest into the shooting death of Kumanjayi Walker has adjourned until July after a further two weeks of evidence, with attitudes, culture and discipline within the NT Police force in the spotlight.

The dilapidated state of remote housing in the Northern Territory was probed on the last day of hearings for several months in the coronial inquest into the death of the Indigenous teenager.

The home where Kumanjayi Walker was shot by police is now a "memory house" and is being removed from the NT's public housing stocks.

A community policing panel and a senior government official will take the stand on the last day in the latest round of hearings at the Walker inquest.

The coroner hears how there were "very clear missed opportunities" to assist Kumanjayi Walker as a child, at the inquest into his death in a remote community in 2019.

The Assistant Police Commissioner tells the coronial inquest into the death of Mr Walker that evidence from the perjury investigation into Constable Zachary Rolfe over an allegation that the officer "lied" to a court should have been referred to the Director of Public Prosecutions for decision.

A former assistant commissioner of the Australian Federal Police has criticised the executive oversight of the team deployed to Yuendumu to arrest Kumanjayi Walker in 2019, describing it as "totally lacking".
