An open letter from the police offer who shot an Indigenous teenager should be investigated for contempt of court, the lawyer representing the teenager's family say.
An inquest into the shooting death of Kumanjayi Walker resumed on Monday, days after Constable Zachary Rolfe wrote a long open letter criticising NT police and the coroner. He has since left the country.
Const Rolfe shot Kumanjayi Walker, 19, three times as he resisted arrest in Yuendumu, northwest of Alice Springs, on November 9, 2019.
