Kumanjayi Walker could have survived being shot the first time by Constable Zachary Rolfe, a court has heard, but the second bullet fired by the police officer likely caused the Warlpiri man’s death.

Rolfe is charged with murdering Walker in Yuendumu, a remote community 300km from Alice Springs, on 9 November 2019. He has pleaded not guilty.
