The deep suffering caused when a police officer shot dead an Indigenous woman in Western Australia has been laid bare at an inquest into her death. Ngarlawangga Yamatji Martu woman JC was shot in a Geraldton street in September 2019 by then-Constable Brent Wyndham as she held a knife. Const Wyndham was charged and later found not guilty of murder and manslaughter of the 29-year-old, who had previously been diagnosed with drug-induced psychosis and schizophrenia.
" gave me the strength for me and my children and hopefully my brothers and sisters to move on in life," she said crying. "The hardest part is to walk away with no closure, no justice, no peace. "I don't cry on the outside anymore, instead I feel guided by JC in spirit, in cultural ways, physically, mentally, emotionally." The same day, Deputy Police Commissioner Allan Adams gave his condolences to the family in court.
