Walker inquest hears of NT teen's trauma

Kumanjayi Walker had complex developmental trauma which would have influenced his interactions with police, an inquest into the Northern Territory teenager's death has heard.

Mr Walker was 19 when he was killed during a botched arrest attempt at Yuendumu, northeast of Alice Springs in November 2019.

The Warlpiri man was shot three times by Constable Zachary Rolfe, who was subsequently charged with his murder and acquitted after a Supreme Court trial.
