A police officer will soon face trial on allegations he unlawfully killed an elderly woman who died after being tasered at a nursing home.
The 95-year-old had dementia and used a walking frame, and was pointing a steak knife towards an officer accompanying White when the stun gun was deployed, police allege.
Nowland hit her head on the floor when she fell and had an inoperable bleed on the brain, later dying in hospital.
The 33-year-old officer’s trial is scheduled to begin on November 11.
