The seminal murder trial of Northern Territory police officer Zachary Rolfe has been delayed until next week.
For the second time, COVID-19 has delayed the trial of a Northern Territory police officer accused of murdering Aboriginal teenager Kumanjayi Walker in the remote desert community of Yuendumu in 2019.
Prosecutor Philip Strickland finished his 14 days of quarantine in Howard Springs on Monday, the same day Chief Minister Michael Gunner announced the lockdown. The entire pandemic has delivered only one case of community transmission in the Northern Territory. That was in late June. The snap lockdown that followed in Darwin and Alice Springs crushed the spread and life resumed.
