The police watchdog is set to hand down a report after examining why it took officers almost an hour to respond to a brutal domestic violence attack.
Lindy "Kimmy" Lucena, 64, was beaten to death by her partner of five years, Robert Karl Huber, on January 3, 2023, at Ballina in northern NSW.
"There's a man bashing the hell out of his woman at the back of the Salvation Army," an informant told police during a triple-zero call placed at 7pm.
Arriving on the scene at 7.55pm, an unnamed officer never even got out of his car as he searched for those involved, an inquiry was told in December.
Why it took officers so long to reach the scene and what could have been done better will be the subject of a report by the Law Enforcement Conduct Commission due to be made public on Tuesday.
