In an Australian TV first and a full length documentary, Denham Hitchcock takes viewers inside one of Australia’s most explosive legal dramas, following “killer” cop Zachary Rolfe, as he stands accused over the death of Warlpiri teen Kumanjayi Walker. 7NEWS Spotlight was given unprecedented access to Rolfe during his trial which sparked Australia’s own Black Lives Matter protests and outcry beyond Indigenous communities.
The murder charge unsettled police around the country, as Rolfe was forced to plead his innocence and defend his lethal actions during Walker’s arrest on that fateful night. Rolfe’s family share their devastation at the murder charges, which they believe were ordered by the highest levels of the NT government.
His tearful mother Deb weeps as she recalls the trauma of talking to her son through prison glass “just like in the movies”, while a former police investigator on the case speaks out about his grave concerns over the rush to charge Rolfe with murder.
When the controversial police officer is found not guilty of Walker’s murder, the behind-the-scenes drama is inflamed again, all captured by 7NEWS Spotlight.
Rolfe shares his shocking reaction to his acquittal for the first time in-depth, in a chilling moment Walker supporters won’t want to miss and will never forget.
